The Islander 36 sloop is an inboard-powered, family cruiser and weekend racer with berths for six. The I-36, as she is commonly referred to, is a mid-volume production, California-built, fiberglass-reinforced vessel with an early 1970s to 1984 manufacturing run of about 650 vessels. Many of these boats are still being sailed. There is an active, California based, (Islander 36 Association ) that offers support and technical assistance, and holds several summer regattas and cruises for this vessel. The Islander 36 Association also has many non-resident members from across the country. == Islander 36 == Islander Yachts ceased operations in the mid-1980s. During its existence, Islander produced many sizes of sailboats ranging from to . The most popular and longest selling boat Islander produced was their long sloop, commonly called the I-36. This boat is of fiberglass construction with a wood-cored fiberglass deck and cabin roof. It has a skeg-mounted rudder and a fin keel. The hull and rig were designed by naval architect Alan Gurney. The deck, cockpit and interior were designed by Joseph Artese Design. During the last few years of production the I-36 interiors were largely finished in teak, with a teak and holly cabin sole (floor). Earlier models also used the teak and holly floor, with a mix of white fiberglass and teak accents on the bulkheads (walls) in the living areas. Ventilation below deck is provided by two overhead hatches and six opening cabin ports. There are also four, larger, non-opening side windows. This boat follows the general layout for most single-mast sailing yachts, having a mainsail and a foresail, with the cockpit at the back of the boat. All Islanders of this length are inboard powered. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Islander 36」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
