WINDANCER, a 1977 Islander Islander 36 is one of the most successful designs ever, there were 770 Islander 36 footers produced. This one has been updated with new sails, new bimini and the 4108 Perkins has less than a thousand hours. even now it makes an excellent racer/cruiser.  

The Islander 36 was built from 1971 to 1985, making it one of the longest-lived 36-footers ever on the U.S. market. More than 750 of the Alan Gurney-designed racer-cruiser sloops were built, with production spanning almost the entire history of Islander Yachts. Unlike a lot of boats with long production histories, there are relatively few differences between the first and last Islander 36s built. 

All in all, the Islander 36 fast-sailing boat, With proper, modern sail-handling equipment, it could easily be handled by a couple for shorthanded cruising. With good sails and a smooth bottom, it is also can be a competitive PHRF club racer. Very fast for a comfortable cruising boat. The boat seems to be a good compromise between being light enough to sail well and heavy enough to be safe and solid. It has been described by owners as comfortable, stable, quick, and roomy. Even by todays standards, the hull proportions of the Islander 36 are nearly ideal for a modern racer-cruiser. The beam is moderate and carried well aft, offering fairly good hull volume aft, Despite the age of the design, the I36 is not dated in appearance. You could even say that the boat is a modern classic.
