The Cape George 36 stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the "heavy displacement" school of naval architecture. Designed as an evolution of William Atkin’s classic lines and brought to life by Cecil Lange in Port Townsend, Washington, the 36 is often described by the Cape George Marine Works as the quintessential offshore cruiser. This vessel is not a product of mass production; rather, it is a handcrafted maritime instrument characterized by a full keel, a deep wineglass transom, and a heavy-duty fiberglass layup. With a displacement-to-length ratio that places it firmly in the "heavy" category, the 36 is designed to carry the stores and equipment necessary for years of self-sufficient land-fall hopping without compromising its legendary sea-kindliness.
