Boat Overview
Designed by Ted Gozzard and built to exacting standards, the Gozzard 36 has long been respected as a serious offshore cruising sailboat. With her full-keel design, protected rudder, and heavy-displacement hull, she offers a comfortable motion at sea and excellent tracking in a wide range of conditions. This is a boat that inspires confidence when the weather turns and rewards patience on long passages.

Interior Features
Below deck, the interior is warm, practical, and exceptionally well thought out for a boat of this size. The layout features:

Forward double berth
Convertible saloon table that creates a second double berth
A generous aft single berth that serves as an excellent sea berth

With 6'2" of headroom, ample storage, and quality woodwork throughout, she feels solid and welcoming rather than cramped.

Galley and Systems
The galley and systems reflect a clear focus on liveaboard cruising. Recent upgrades include:

New refrigeration compressor and plate in 2025

High-output watermaker producing over 20 gallons per hour



Deck and Sailing Features
On deck, she is set up for easy short-handed sailing with:

Roller furling sails
A well-protected cockpit
A conservative sail plan

The mast, standing rigging, and hull-mounted chainplates were replaced in 2015, and the North Sails inventory remains in good condition. Ground tackle includes:

Rocna primary anchor
Rebuilt Lewmar windlass
Ample chain and rode for comfortable anchoring


Power and Electrical Systems
Power comes from a Westerbeke 55D installed new in 2015, with approximately 1,200 hours and extensive drivetrain updates. A strong electrical system includes:

Solar
Inverter/charger
Firefly AGM house bank
Honda generator


General Description
This Gozzard 36 is not a dockside showpiece. She is a capable, honest cruising boat for sailors who value quality, reliability, and thoughtful upgrades, a boat ready to be lived aboard and sailed with confidence.
