Description
The Dehler 36 DB was engineered with a focus on stiffness and upwind efficiency and as such she is a joy to sail. Upwind performance is as important whether crusing or racing and this boat will hold her sail area well before having to reef.
8 berths and 2 additional pipe cots in the aft cabins. Large central heads with shower, a sensible galley and a linear saloon with a table to dine the a full crew.
This boat is serioius bang for your buck with a great inventory of sails and a Harken roller furlin headfoil which has a removable drum for racing.
