Following the considerable success of his one-design Sigma 33 cruiser-racer, introduced in 1978 as the first Sigma model, David Thomas designed the larger Sigma 36 in 1980/81 with the aim of repeating the success with a bigger version, though there was probably never any intention to market the 36 as a one-design racer.

The wide beam of the Sigma 36 gives spacious accommodation, including a large aft double berth under the cockpit. Like virtually all David Thomas designs, the Sigma 36 is close-winded and fast, yet is easy enough to handle and sail to make a good long-distance cruiser. 'Yachting Monthly' reviewed the design in 2001, commenting "....the Sigma 36 is beautiful to sail. There are not many yachts that can compare. She gives a huge feeling of security .... backed up by fabulous handling"

The Sigma 36 was later reworked into the Sigma 362 fast cruiser, with a slightly detuned rig and a modified interior, with larger heads and an aft cabin separated by a door.

The heads compartment has just had the laminate paneling replaced - the job is not quite finished and so the peel-off plastic is still in place

The aft double berth is 6' 7" long and 4' 9" wide
