Help Identifying this 36 ft. sailboat hull and deck
Hi everyone,
A friend just boat this boat at a lien sale ..and I am trying to help him figure out just what it is that he bought!
It's a never built , hull and deck. It has internal ballast and bulkheads tabbed in.
The rudder is still brand new in the crate right lying next to the hull.
Approximately 36 ft. long. My buddy says Hans Christian …but I am not sure.
I'm attaching to pics of the boat and 1 of the hull number.
Hull number looks to me like: SYLMN007B292
Any help identifying her would be greatly appreciated. Quite a project. Eh?
thanks,
Jon

Re: Help Identifying this 36 ft. sailboat hull and deck
Saga maybe? Or a Southern Cross 35'? Someone with the right connections could probably input that hull ID# & get some info on her for you. Like a boat broker, or similar. Maybe a surveyor. Spec's on beam & draft would help to ID her too. Even rough numbers on them. And you might peruse Bluewaterboats.org & sailboatdata.com as well.
Once you find out what she is, it sure would be worth tracking down as much info on her as you can. To include drawings, blueprints, rigging diagrams, sailplan, table of offsets, etc. Including how she should be trimmed out when afloat.
Have fun with this! And put some thought into your shop layout, so as to maximize productivity. Including a good thinking chair.

Re: Help Identifying this 36 ft. sailboat hull and deck
Thanks for the great tips. You just made me realize that there are a few folks I can call tomorrow to try and figure out the mystery! I'm not sure if I or my friend will take thus on …or possibly sell the kit …but I sure can envision beautiful things …as well as a TON of hard labor!

Re: Help Identifying this 36 ft. sailboat hull and deck
Just a tip for when you get to the mast building stage. Few boat owners ever gripe about having a mast that's too tall, with too much sail area. And plenty of boat owners & sailors keep thinking up new ways to add more. Including retrofitting new, taller spars at great expense. Well, unless they live in areas where it rarely blows less than 20kts. So keep this in mind when it's time to design her sail wardrobe. SADR = 20 is a decent number.

Re: Help Identifying this 36 ft. sailboat hull and deck
I called Sylvan marine / Smoker Craft this morning. They have absolutely no idea what this is. They've never made sailboats. I'm going to run by the coast guard station today …and see if they can help.

You can see from the attached picture, the MIC is not "SLY", but rather "SYL".

Re: Help Identifying this 36 ft. sailboat hull and deck
It has a very Bingham- like look to it. Look on sailboatdata.com. It also looks very Taiwanish, maybe 2 piece hull glassed together. I once saw a nearly new boat with that construction being towed from a beach in Oxnard split in two and one side leaped 10 feet up the beach and the other just fell over. Pretty funny at the time because the guy who bought it from the insurance company was a real jerk.

Re: Help Identifying this 36 ft. sailboat hull and deck
I'm going to go way out on a limb and suggest it might be a Corbin 39. They were sold as kit boats, to be finished at home. So you can imagine, many remained unfinished.

Re: Help Identifying this 36 ft. sailboat hull and deck
Cockpit looks like Stadell's Nassau 34. T cockpit with grated teak captains seat and cockpit engine access. Overall the boat looks looks similar with the exception of the bow cutout for the bowsprit. Union 36 is another possibility but the cockpit is all wrong
