Berwick Kirby 36 Sloop

Shawnawdithit is a semi-custom 36-foot aft cockpit racer-cruiser that is a classic sloop based on a Bruce Kirby One-Ton design. The professional hull construction is of cold-molded wood using the West Epoxy System. She has an external lead deep fin keel and lovely spade rudder. Her deck construction is of plywood over frame.

Sleeping accommodations are provided for four persons with a v-berth forward, a pilot berth outboard amidships to port and a quarterberth aft to port. She has a v-berth forward immediately aft of the deep chain locker followed by the head on starboard and full cupboard storage on port. In the main cabin, one finds a large L-shaped dinette with a pilot berth to starboard along with a bench settee and pilot berth to port. She has a roomy galley with stove and fridge to starboard and the nav station and quarterberth to port.

Her cockpit is deep and safe and her deck and line arrangements are marvelous with all lines leading aft. She is a very unique vessel with beautiful lines and an excellent fit and finish.
