Hull

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.


Rig

The SHE 36 is equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.


Keel

Unknown keel type

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.90 - 2.00 meter (6.23 - 6.53 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.


Engine

The boat may be equipped with an inboard Bukh diesel engine at 20 hp (14 kW).


Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for SHE 36 is about 226 kg/cm, alternatively 1268 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 226 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1268 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
