She 36 is a 35 ′ 5 ″ / 10.8 m monohull sailboat designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by South Hants Engineering starting in 1977.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

S&S design #2166. Originally designed as an IOR 3/4 ton racer. The NORTHSTAR 1500 and HUGHES 35 built in Canada, (among others) were based on this same hull design.

The She 36 is a 35.5ft masthead sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by South Hants Engineering since 1977.

The She 36 is a moderate weight sailboat which is under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.

Only the acquisition of a very special Bowman 40 ( also LR100A1 ) has forced the sale of lovely Legionnaire. The time has come for me to go for a slightly more cruising oriented boat. I will miss my lovely Legionnaire, the second SHE 36 I have owned and the fourth SHE owned by my family.

The She 36 is one of the finest and most attractive of the 1970s fast cruisers, designed and built to a very high standard, fit to go to sea in just about anything. "Legionnaire" is a late example of this classic S&S fin and skeg design with the excellent " SHE" deck and lovely teak joinery throughout. Built to Lloyds Register of Shipping 100A1. Modern yachts are simply not built like this anymore.

South Hants Engineering had a strong reputation for building quality Sparkman & Stephens designed yachts up until the early 1980s.

The She 36 was their flagship model, some 46 of which were produced from. Legionnaire (completed summer 1980) was one of the last ones to be built.

There is a close resemblance to the much admired Swan 38, also a Sparkman & Stephens design from the same period. Although only slightly smaller, the difference still helps to make the She 36 a much easier boat to handle short handed. Also, the She-deck is very effective in grip, looks good and is hardwearing and low maintenance, unlike teak decks of this age.

In the notorious 1979 Fastnet Race, a She 36 (Lorelei) recovered eight crew from the sunken yacht Griffin (ODD 34). The French owner & skipper was awarded the 1979 Yachtsman of the Year award & the Legion d' Honneur (the highest French Civilian Medal for bravery). In the publication “Narrative of a Fastnet Rescue” Alain Catherineau (Lorelei’s owner/skipper) made Introductory reference to Sparkman & Stephens (who designed most of Ted Heath’s Morning Clouds):

“Dominating the sailing world for several decades, their knowledge enabled us to carry out a rescue in difficult wind & sea conditions…. This account, which I dedicate to them is an acknowledgement of my indebtedness”.

There is an abundance of historical information (even including original purchase details/correspondence) that comes with Legionnaire.

Legionnaire has recently been subject to a refurbishment, overseen by a Marine Surveyor, for which a Report has been issued. A fine yacht, she is being sold with a heavy heart by the owner as he has purchased a Bowman 40 (also built to Lloyds 100A1).

BH Boat Sales offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel. A buyer should instruct his agents, or his surveyors, to investigate such details as the buyer desires validated. This vessel is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.

Broker's Comments

The Sparkman and Stevens designed 'She 36' class is a much sought after modern classic. She is a true blue water racing cruiser, capable of fast cruising speeds yet easily handled. They bear a considerable resemblance to the Swan 36, also a Sparkman and Stephens design from the same period. This particular example has an incredible inventory and high specification. She has a large array of navigation equipment which could take you just about anywhere.The boat also comes with many extra sails, most of which have hardly been used Internally there are also many extras including leather upholstery an inverter, Webasto cabin heating, and even a number of ships decanters with matching glasses. This boat is fully loaded for European waters and has to be viewed to appreciate the extensive inventory and quality of build. Looked after to a high standard this is one of the best on the market.

She 36—A safe, fast offshore cruising boat for less than $US100,000 including refit

Articles in this topic:, colin & louise are buying a new sailboat, colin and louise have a new boat, finding and buying a dream, starting with the basics on a new-to-us cruising boat, safety inspection and gear for a new-to-us boat, to sea at last, falmouth for orders, sailing a new-to-us boat home—what could go wrong, yes, you can have an offshore sailboat for less than $us100,000, the rolling refit continues.

We can all learn a huge amount when two of the most experienced sailboat owners anywhere go boat shopping.

After two years of diligent searching, one of the most knowledgeable boat buyers anywhere has selected his next offshore cruising boat, and an attainable one, too.

Now Colin and Louise have found and bought their new boat, the real work begins…but they got the basics right. Here’s how.

Colin continues the story of making a basically sound, but nearly half-a-century-old, boat ready for sailing. Vital reading for anyone buying a used boat.

Colin shares his safety checks and upgrades made before the long delivery passage home to Scotland.

After many hours of toil in the boatyard to make her passage-ready, Colin and Louise start the long passage home to Scotland, testing the boat and gear as they go.

Colin is waiting for the weather, as happens to all cruisers, and muses on the history of an iconic port, boat design (old and new), derelict boats, and the ongoing process of getting in tune with their new-to-them She 36.

Colin and Louise serve up a master class on delivering an older and long-unsailed boat through difficult waters and adverse weather, and even have fun doing it.

Some years ago Colin and John explored whether or not a seamanlike offshore boat could be had for less than US$100,000. Colin and Louise have just proved we can, but there are things to know.

Colin continues the story of bringing a fundamental sound, but 47 year old, racing boat back to offshore standards and turning her into a comfortable, fast and safe cruising boat, all while Scotland’s winter winds howl.
