2001 Dehler 36

SELLER DESCRIPTION

2001 Dehler 36, This German-crafted racer/cruiser has everything for the sailor who aspires to be a distance cruiser or racer. The Dehler is as refined as the German BMW and Mercedes. It should be, it was designed by Judel and Vrolijk, the designers of Alinghi, the Americas Cup winner. Cruising sailors will find the Dehler 36 big, roomy, and comfortable. The accompanying pictures of the interior layout of this well maintained cruiser illustrate the exceptional design and elegance of this boat. This is a boat two couples can sail for weeks and be comfortable socializing while still having the privacy to make a couples cruise fun. Exterior pictures of the Dehler are equally impressive. The Dehler has a large sail plan, beefed-up winches, blocks, shrouds, and fittings and a huge stainless wheel and large cockpit that makes for nimble, effortless steering mile after mile. On the dock or under sail, the Dehler 36 is an eye-catching yacht. The robustness of the Dehler will draw the attention of the serious racer. So too will the full inventory of 3/DL sails including, beside the mainsail, three headsails and two spinnakers. Spinnaker sets and douses are manageable by two competent sailors or four friends under any conditions. This Dehler 36 auxiliary is a 28 hpVolvo Penta saildrive that is quiet and vibration free. Douse the sails and the saildrive will power you to your destination at a comfortable 6.5 knots. A color chartplotter and Raymarine ST 60 wind instruments will provide the nautical data you need to stay on course and maximize your VMG. Claims about the Dehler 36 are not overdone. This yacht was the European Yacht-of-the year in 2000 and has been a European IMS champion, and twice (2005 and 2006), Boat-of-the-Year in France and Germany. This particular Dehler has won many races and been the top boat in a yacht club series in every year since she was commissioned in 2001. Adam 508-951-4869
