Wednesdays our 36/600 fleet shines, look for the Marblehead inspired design 36/600's. Here you'll see Venoms, ORCO,ORCA, Yardstick,Scampi, P36, Agate and many other 36/600 hulls plying the pond. The 36/600 is the smallest of the developmental class yachts, with an appearance similar to the legendary yachts.

There are very few restrictions beyond the thirty-six inch hull length and six hundred square inches of sail area. The class specifications are so worded to encourage the designers and builders to fully utilize their imaginations. Design diversity for 36/600 hulls is quite broad. For example, beams range from a narrow five inches to over eight inches. Sail aspects range from forty-five inch luffs to over sixty inch luffs. The weight of a 36/600 can vary from under five pounds to over eight pounds. This developmental class is restricted in overall length and sail area, 36 inches long, 600 sq inches of sail area, everything else is pretty much experimental. While some of these yachts are commercially available, their simplicity also makes them a good choice for beginning builders. Weight 5 to 8 lbs.
