Designed by Mike Brennan and produced by the Mississippibased Easterly Yachts, the Easterly 36 represents a specific era of American boatbuilding where the transition from traditional wood designs to fiberglass allowed for greater experimentation with interior volume. Introduced in 1976, the 36footer was a bold step for the Pearlington yard, pivoting toward the centercockpit (CC) layout that was gaining massive popularity among coastal cruisers of the time. While the company's tenure was relatively brief, spanning from 1969 to 1980, the Easterly 36 remains a notable example of a "heavyduty" coastal cruiser, characterized by a masthead sloop rig and a hull form that prioritized stability and interior liveability over raw racing speed.
