The Rival 36 represents the final evolution of Peter Brett’s design philosophy for Rival Yachts, conceived as a more refined successor to the legendary Rival 34. Launched in 1980, this model was designed to bridge the gap between the compact 34 and the more voluminous Rival 38, eventually reaching a production run of approximately 78 hulls. Built largely by Southern Boatbuilding to the rigorous Lloyd's 100A1 standard, the vessel is widely regarded as a quintessential British "goanywhere" cruiser, characterized by its graceful sheer line, tuckedin stern, and exceptionally robust GRP construction. Detailed historical accounts of the marque’s development and the 36’s place within it are maintained by the Rival Owners Association.
