An S&S cruiser/racer
design from the late 70's, good She 36s are now highly sought
after as very fast, very seaworthy cruiser-racers with impeccable
handling - an absolute pleasure to sail. The fact that they
are pretty as well is the icing on the cake. They bear a considerable
resemblance to the Swan 36, also a Sparkman and Stephens design
from the same period. |

The She 36 is one of the classic Sparkman & Stephens
designs from the late 1970s. Originally rated as a 3/4 Ton
Cup racer under the IOR rules, many were purchased purely
as elegant fast cruisers.
Although some IOR racers handled badly due to attempts to
distort hull shapes to "cheat the rule" and obtain
a favourable rating, the best of them (She 36's, UFO34's
and a few others) were really good all-round fast cruiser/racers,
with enough weight and ballast to continue to sail in heavy
weather without (as in most modern racers) lots of crew sitting
on the rail. Those still raced are still notching up good
results: the 2002 Round Ireland offshore race saw Michael
Greville's She 36 "Hippocampus" place third overall
on handicap, with a string of other class placings.
