The Cabot 36

Sailing Vessel Palani is hull number 18 in the Cabot 36 series. She was manufactured in Canada in 1978. She is rigged as a cutter; this means she has three sails. The main sail, a large genoa located at the bow and then a smaller jib that is between the main and genoa.

She is a shoal draft full keel boat. I was looking specifically for this type of hull design as they perform well in weather on the open seas and the shoal draft works well for Florida and the Caribbean. Her draft is 4’ 9”.

Inside, as you come down the companionway, she has a galley (kitchen) to the left with a propane stove, a sink, and a refrigerator. On the right are the navigation station and a quarter berth for sleeping when underway. As you move forward, there is seating on the left that wrap around a kitchen table and a settee on the right-hand side. Next is the head (bathroom) on the left with toilet and shower and forward opens up into the v-berth cabin.

Here are some of her specs:
