The New York 36 is an American sailboat that was designed by William E. Cook as an International Offshore Rule (IOR), as well as a one design racer, which was first built in 1980.[1][2][3][4]
Production
The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in the United States, from 1980 until 1985, with 88 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7][8]
Design
The design came about as the result of some members of the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) asking Cook to design a boat specifically for one design racing at the club, but that would also be competitive in IOR handicap racing. Some of the production boats were sold to non-NYYC members on the US west coast.[1][2]
Cook based the boat on his 1980 IOR One Ton class racer Firewater. The New York 36 used a taller mast for the lighter wind conditions found on western Long Island Sound, where it was anticipated the design would be raced and a cruising interior.[9]
The New York 36 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a sharply reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) and carries 4,200 lb (1,905 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 6.33 ft (1.93 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo 2002 diesel engine of 13 hp (10 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee and two aft quarter berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side amidships. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, icebox and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.28 kn (13.48 km/h).[2]
Operational history
At the NYYC the design was raced as part of the annual NYYC Cruise throughout the 1980s.[1][2]
Some of the production boats that were sold to non-NYYC members on the US west coast were raced as a one design class there for a period of time.[1][2]
