On a yacht this size, where the cabin trunk is a good 12 ft or longer, seeing over it is a rare pleasure. This isn't a problem on the 36, because although the cockpit seats don't feel particularly high, visibility forward is good. There is a choice to be made where the cockpit layout is concerned. Some, more serious about racing, may prefer to have the mainsheet track separate the cockpit into two sections. Otherwise, the track crosses the cabin top forward of the companionway hatch.
Fittings everywhere are excellent.
The turning blocks at the base of the mast which carry halyards back to the cockpit are typical. Hydraulics are optional on the backstay and the boarding ladder is integral with the stern rail, now that's an interesting combination. The shape of the 36 underwater is modern in every respect for a hull of moderate displacement. It has a fairly distinct knuckle in profile, a well defined fin on the shallow underbody, and a flat run aft ending in a faired-in skeg. The rudder is moderately deep.
