The Hughes 36 is a development of the Columbia 34 Mark II hull design, being built using tooling and moulds acquired from Columbia Yachts. It is related to the Coronado 35 design. The design was developed into the Hughes-Columbia 36 in 1979.[1][3]

Production

The design was built by Hughes Boat Works in Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][4]

Design

The Hughes 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optional ketch rig, a centre-cockpit, a spooned raked stem, a raised transom, a skeg-mounted spade-type/transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 13,000 lb (5,897 kg) and carries 4,700 lb (2,132 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]
