The late 1970s marked a golden era for heavydisplacement cruising yachts, characterized by robust handlaid fiberglass hulls, heavy scantlings, and exquisite woodwork from Far East shipyards. Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in 1978, the C&L Marine 36 emerged as a formidable, highly capable bluewater cruiser. Designed by the legendary naval architect Doug Peterson—renowned primarily for his slippery, racewinning ocean greyhounds—the C&L 36 represents a rare and deliberate departure into pure cruising capability. To understand her lines is to understand her lineage; she is essentially a scaleddown, aftcockpit cousin of the iconic Kelly Peterson 44. Sharing a very similar underbody, high protective bulwarks, and a distinctive cabin profile, the C&L 36 was engineered from the keel up to provide budgetconscious cruisers with a bulletproof vessel capable of weathering any ocean passage.
