Mariah 36
Description
The Mariah 36 (also known as the Pacific Seacraft Mariah) is an American full-keel cutter-rigged sailboat designed by William Crealock as a seaworthy coastal and bluewater cruiser, ideal for couples or small families on extended passages or protected waters. Introduced in 1977 by Pacific Seacraft in Santa Ana, California, during the late 1970s fiberglass boom, it was Crealock's early collaboration with the builder (founded by Henry Mohrschladt and Mike Howard), targeting serious sailors with its double-ended hull for ultimate stability and offshore capability. Production ran until 1983, with approximately 50 units built, emphasizing hand-laid GRP construction for durability. The "36" refers to LOA including the bowsprit (actual hull LOD 31 ft), distinguishing it from the later Pacific Seacraft 31 (1987, 209 built).
