The Cape Dory 36 is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the collaboration between designer Carl Alberg and Cape Dory Yachts. Introduced in 1978, this full-keeled cutter was designed to be a rugged, ocean-going cruiser capable of taking a couple or a small family anywhere in the world. With its traditional lines, including a graceful spring to the sheer and a classic wine-glass transom, the 36 embodies the "Alberg look" that prioritizes seaworthiness and aesthetic permanence over modern interior volume or racing speeds. The model enjoyed a successful production run of approximately 165 hulls before Cape Dory ceased operations, after which the molds were moved to Maine, where the design continued as the Robinhood 36.
