The Sceptre 36 is a pedigreed racercruiser hailing from the Pacific Northwest, designed by Hein Driehuyzen and built by Scepter Yachts Ltd. in Richmond, British Columbia. Produced between 1978 and 1984, with 36 hulls completed, the vessel was born during a golden era of boutique Canadian boatbuilding. It was specifically engineered to improve upon Driehuyzen's earlier Crown 34 (which later became the San Juan 34), offering a deeper keel, more ballast, and a more robust construction profile suited for the demanding waters of the Salish Sea and beyond. The model is frequently recognized by its distinctive transom and the high level of finishing that characterized Scepter's output before the mid80s oil crisis shifted the industry toward highervolume production.
