Vintage 36

The Vintage 36 Class can trace its history back to the 1930s with free-sailing 36-in class models. The current V36 class was added to the US VMYG class lineup around 2003 as a companion to the established Vintage Marblehead class. With an overall length of 36 in and sail area limit of 600 in², the boat is easy to transport and carry in any vehicle. Plans are still available from the A.J. Fisher Company for Chico II, and many lines drawings for 36-in model yachts have been published in The Model Yacht. A Restricted 36-in model class is also active in the UK, and many of those plans can be built to US VMYG V36 rules. In addition, classes for building R/C V36 models have been offered at the WoodenBoat School and other organizations.
