Boat Overview Designed by Ted Gozzard and built to exacting standards, the Gozzard 36 has long been respected as a serious offshore cruising sailboat. With her full-keel design, protected rudder, and heavy-displacement hull, she offers a comfortable motion at sea and excellent tracking in a wide range of conditions. This is a boat that inspires confidence when the weather turns and rewards patience on long passages.
Interior Features Below deck, the interior is warm, practical, and exceptionally well thought out for a boat of this size. The layout features:
* Forward double berth
* Convertible saloon table that creates a second double berth
* A generous aft single berth that serves as an excellent sea berth
With 6'2" of headroom, ample storage, and quality woodwork throughout, she feels solid and welcoming rather than cramped.
Galley and Systems The galley and systems reflect a clear focus on liveaboard cruising. Recent upgrades include:
* New refrigeration compressor and plate in 2025
* High-output watermaker producing over 20 gallons per hour
Deck and Sailing Features On deck, she is set up for easy short-handed sailing with:
* Roller furling sails
* A well-protected cockpit
* A conservative sail plan
The mast, standing rigging, and hull-mounted chainplates were replaced in 2015, and the North Sails inventory remains in good condition. Ground tackle includes:
* Rocna primary anchor
* Rebuilt Lewmar windlass
* Ample chain and rode for comfortable anchoring
Power and Electrical Systems Power comes from a Westerbeke 55D installed new in 2015, with approximately 1,200 hours and extensive drivetrain updates. A strong electrical system includes:
* Solar
* Inverter/charger
* Firefly AGM house bank
* Honda generator
General Description This Gozzard 36 is not a dockside showpiece. She is a capable, honest cruising boat for sailors who value quality, reliability, and thoughtful upgrades, a boat ready to be lived aboard and sailed with confidence.
