The Biscay 36 is a distinguished example of the traditional British longkeel cruiser, designed by Alan Hill in the late 1960s to withstand the rigors of offshore passagemaking. Primarily built by Falmouth Boat Construction (FBC) in Cornwall, the vessel was conceived during an era when seaworthiness and directional stability were prioritized over outright speed or interior volume. Its heavy displacement and robust GRP construction have earned it a reputation as a formidable "blue water" yacht, often drawing comparisons to contemporaries like the Rustler 36 and the Nicholson 32. While the majority were rigged as ketches to provide a versatile sail plan for shorthanded crews, a smaller number of slooprigged variants were also produced.
