Creekmore 36 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used Creekmore 36 means looking at a fiberglass centerboard sloop from Raymond Creekmore's early-1960s drawing board, a 36-foot masthead design whose stub-and-centerboard keel swings draft from about four feet up to seven. She is a moderate-displacement boat at roughly 14,000 pounds with 5,000 pounds of lead ballast, and on the brokerage market you are buying a simple, solid shell with a flexible underwater profile rather than a heavily optioned modern cruiser.
Layouts on the Used Market
The Creekmore 36 is a monohull with a spade rudder and a masthead sloop rig over a 30-foot waterline and near-9.7-foot beam. The centerboard trunk defines the interior footprint: with the board raised she suits shallow anchorages, with it down she stands into a marina only at major depths. Expect the conventional early-sixties aft-cockpit sloop volume, not a wide-beam loft, given her 3.72 length-to-beam ratio.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Boats on the Australian market commonly carry a circumnavigation-grade inventory. Safety and passage-making gear is typically fitted as standard for the category: life raft, EPIRB, AIS, and radar are commonly aboard, joined by autopilot and chartplotter. Climate and power comfort is commonly handled with air conditioning and an inverter. For a buyer this means a well-found offshore-leaning spec is the norm rather than the exception, though you should still verify each unit's service state.
What to Inspect
The hull and deck are solid fiberglass with no core, so probe for osmotic or impact damage rather than delamination. The keel is a stub with centerboard, so the trunk, pivot, and board seal deserve close attention for wear and water ingress. The wetted surface runs about 376 square feet and immersion is near 1,011 pounds per inch, so loading and bottom condition matter to performance surface of the wet bottom of the Creekmore 36 is about 35m2 (376 ft2).
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Creekmore 36s typically appear in Australia. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm centerboard operation and trunk integrity, survey solid glass hull and deck for repairs, verify the commonly fitted offshore electronics and safety gear are operational, and accept that loaded draft limits you to major marinas. She is a capable, comprehensible boat for an owner who values keel flexibility over turnkey modernity.
