She is cutter rigged with a large foretriangle to allow plenty of room for both headsails. This suggests she'll be a bit sluggish in light wind. The shroud base is very wide, restricts sheeting angles and will contribute to reduced performance to windward. The bilges are firm and ballast is low which makes for a stiff boat that stands up well to a blow. There were around 100 Gozzard 36s built through 1998.
Used models are in high demand which keeps supply low and prices high.
It's not possible, at any price, to build the perfect boat and the Gozzard 36 is not perfect. But, this is nitpicking. All Rights Reserved.
