The Allied Princess 36 Mk II represents the evolution of one of the most respected midsized bluewater cruisers from the Catskill, New York builder. Launched during the Robert Wright era, the Mk II refined the Arthur Edmunds design, offering a sturdy ketchrigged (or occasionally slooprigged) platform intended for serious coastal and offshore work. Unlike many of its contemporaries that chased IOR racing ratings, the Princess was unapologetically a cruiser, characterized by its heavy displacement, full keel with a cutaway forefoot, and a voluminous interior for its era. The "Mk II" designation typically denotes refinements in the deck mold and cockpit layout compared to the original Princess 36, which was first introduced in 1972. While Allied produced several variations of the 36foot hull, the Princess was specifically marketed as the comfortable, stable alternative to the company's more performanceoriented 33 and 39foot models.
