sailingmagazine.net/article-1166-cape-dory-36.htmlJohn Kretschmer recommends the CD 36 in his book, SAILBOATS FOR A SERIOUS OCEAN. It makes his top 25 list for blue water cruisers. "He said this about the Cape Dory/Robinhood 36 No list of serious sailboats would be complete without a Carl Alberg design. He designed many boats and the Cape Dory 36, which later morphed into the Robinhood 36, is a fine example of a capable bluewater cruiser. I am not a fan of full keel boats in general, however the moderate proportions of the CD 36, handsome sheer, balanced rig and stout construction easily persuaded me to include this boat in the book. Well proven and widely available, its a good choice for serious sailing".
