The Ravage 36 is a seminal Danish performance cruiserracer that marks a pivotal moment in Northern European yacht design. Introduced in 1979, the boat was the brainchild of Niels Jeppesen, who would later go on to found the legendary XYachts. The model was born from a specific ambition: Danish sailor Peter Reedtz commissioned Jeppesen to design a yacht capable of winning the Sjælland Rundt, one of the world's most prestigious and largest offshore races at the time. The prototype was famously constructed in the barn of Birger Hansen, a fiberglass specialist whose collaboration with the Jeppesen brothers laid the technical foundation for the "XDNA." Following its early competitive successes, production was moved to Bianca Yachts in Rudkøbing. While production was initially limited to approximately 40 to 100 units depending on historical accounts, the design was later revived in the mid1990s by Bavanca Yacht, which produced a small number of updated hulls through 2009.
