Description

The Soverel 36 Ketch (1965) is a masthead yawl designed by Bill Soverel and built by Soverel Marine (USA) starting in 1965. This 36-foot vessel represents the early pinnacle of Bill Soverel's vision for a versatile offshore racer-cruiser, developed in the North Palm Beach facility to bridge the gap between competitive racing circuits governed by the CCA (Cruising Club of America) rule and the shallow-water cruising requirements of Florida and Bahamas coastlines.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
