The Puzzle 36 is a refined Scandinavian performance cruiser that emerged in the late 1970s, blending the robust build quality of the Swedish West Coast with the agility of a moderate racer. Produced by Puzzle Marin AB on the island of Hönö, Sweden, the vessel was designed by Jörgen Särnå, a maritime architect noted for creating hulls that balanced speed with predictable handling. Approximately 50 units were produced between 1978 and 1991. The shipyard gained a reputation for excellence, partly due to its founding by former craftsmen from the esteemed Hallberg-Rassy yard, a lineage reflected in the yacht's meticulous joinery and solid offshore feel.
