The Amel Kirk 36 represents a foundational chapter in the history of Chantiers Amel, serving as a bridge between the early wooden prototypes of Henri Amel and the legendary fiberglass cruising machines that would eventually dominate the blue water market. Produced between 1971 and 1977 with approximately 255 hulls completed, the Kirk 36 was designed by Henri Amel and Jacques Carteau as a robust, oceancapable sloop. Unlike the larger, more famous centercockpit ketches that followed, the Kirk 36 is an aftcockpit design that retains the brand’s hallmark "indestructible" build quality and pragmatic approach to offshore safety. It was built during an era when Amel Yachts was refining its identity, moving toward the "total cruiser" concept where every system is integrated for ease of use by a shorthanded crew.
