Islander 36

With nearly 800 built, the Islander 36 is one of the most popular and beloved 36-foot sailboats ever produced — and for good reason. Renowned for its balance of performance, comfort, and durability, the 36 continues to boast one of the most active one-design fleets on the Bay. Her skeg-hung rudder and keel-stepped mast deliver a stiff, confident ride in the typical summer breezes while remaining responsive and well-mannered in light air.

CAPTAIN HOOKE stands out as a beautifully maintained example of this classic design. The current owner has invested thoughtfully in both preservation and upgrades, blending timeless Islander craftsmanship with modern ease of sailing. From her recently refinished mast and standing rigging to her newer main and roller furling jib, and beautifully redone interior cushions, this vessel is turn-key ready for her next adventure.
