The SUNRISE 36 contains many of the features normally found on much larger and more expensive yachts. She is large enough to make it the ideal family cruiser with two enormous double berths aft and one or two large single berths forward (depending on specification). Yet just small enough for most of the French canal system and for handling in tight, marina situations. She has a sleek profile with low freeboard and windage.

The large galley to starboard is eight feet long and has two large sinks and fridge inboard, with an oven/grill and four-burner hob outboard. There is plenty of worktop and storage space. A hot and cold pressurised water system is standard. The galley is in white with teak & ash trim with easy to clean surfaces and will be the delight of any seagoing cook. On the opposite side we have fitted a workshop/bosons locker into the port hull. This means that there is a dedicated area for tools & equipment with an easy to clean work top. Maintenance doesn't have to be done on the dining table.

The spacious heads compartment to port contains a wash-hand basin, toilet and shower, plus storage for toiletries. This is fitted out in white with teak & ash trim with all easy clean surfaces.

The airy saloon has a large wrap around seating unit, big enough to seat and dine the whole crew with excellent views all around through the large, alloy & glass windows. The drop-leaf table although centrally mounted, is removable. Aft of the saloon, to port, is the chart table, which can also be seen from the helm position in the cockpit. This is an excellent place for a chart table, (especially when passage making single handed or with a small crew) as it is so close to the helm position.

Under sail the Sunrise is a delight. She has the well proven Prout style cutter rig with the step backed mast, large overlapping genoa and small mail. The genoa is easily reefed and controlled from the cockpit. The lazy jack, fully batten mainsail system makes light work of the mainsail. Couple this with a self-tacking stay-sail and the fact that all the sail handling can be done from the cockpit must make the Sunrise one of the easiest yachts to sail. Under engine the boat is unequalled in its versatility. It can either come equipped with twin inboard diesels with sail or direct drives, or have a single engine centrally mounted, coupled to a lifting and steering outdrive leg. A Sunrise with the twin engines fitted must make her one of the most manoeuvrable and easy to handle yachts built.

The Sunrise, with her shallow draft can moor or anchor where other yachts can not. She is designed to take to the beach to dry out. This will allow for those maintenance chores on the hulls, or perhaps a short stay just for lunch, a swim and a glass of wine. Her keels are protected at all times by her replaceable keel shoes. The Sunrise has a sleek profile with low freeboard and windage and yet has standing headroom in the saloon (excellent for a catamaran of only 36'). All this is achieved by the cleverly designed nacelle / wave breaker unit beneath the saloon floor.

On the safety front the Sunrise complies with all the latest EEC rulings and more. She has 27" stanchions & rails with plenty of grab handles and jacking points. She has positive buoyancy in the bows, nacelle, and transoms. She has two pack foam in every under floor space where possible. She has crash bulkheads fore and aft. The internal bulkheads in the Sunrise segment the accommodation into cells. This will localise any flooding to the damaged areas of the yacht. This we believe makes the Sunrise virtually unsinkable.

The SUNRISE will give you years of fun and enjoyment, whether it be coastal weekends or voyages to the other side of the world. You will be proud to own her, knowing that she has the latest constructional technology, with a standard of equipment and finish that is second to none.

£27,750.00

Moulded GRP units (including fitting, bonding in & fitting bulkheads to suit)

Using some or all of the modules saves a considerable time in the construction of the interior of the Sunrise 36. All modules incorporate the floors in their respective areas.

Port module: En-suit heads unit £900.00

Port module: Bosuns locker / workshop unit £750.00

Forward Cabin bunk unit (port or starboard) £900.00

Cockpit door complete & fitted (the boat now has a front door with a key) £500.00

Remember that these module prices include making & bonding in the bulkheads to each module. In most cases this includes the door way, which means the cabins are complete rooms awaiting finishing.

The total cost of all the above is £34,050.00 (engineered boat). At this stage the basic boat is made and well formed on the inside with rudders fitted. It will then need equipment such as cookers, taps, water tanks etc.. motors, a rig and all deck equipment to complete (the easy part). We are happy to supply any big ticket items such as the motors, rig etc.. to you at trade prices giving a considerable saving on costs. (This can save thousands of pounds!)
