The Beneteau Evasion 36 is a French sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand as a motorsailer and first built in 1990. The 36 is the sole boat in the series designed by Briand.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
The design was built by Beneteau in France, starting in 1990, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [3] [4] [10] [11] [12]
The Evasion 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. The hull is solid fibreglass and the deck is balsa-cored. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of swept spreaders and aluminium spars with stainless steel wire standing rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by two wheels, one in the cockpit and one in the wheelhouse and a fixed fin keel or optional wing keel. It displaces 121250NaN0 and carries 46300NaN0 of cast iron ballast.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The boat has a draft of 4.75feet with the standard fin keel and 4.83feet with the wing keel.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The boat is fitted with a inboard 330NaN0 diesel engine for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [2] [3] [9]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with an offset double berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee in the wheelhouse and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side at the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, a refrigerator and a double sink. A navigation and steering station is forward the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower.[1] [2] [3] [4] [9]
The design has a hull speed of 7.56kn.[1] [2] [3] [4]
A 2009 review in Yachting Monthly noted, "Bénéteau returned to the Evasion wheelhouse concept in 1990 when this configuration was enjoying a revival. She was a sleeker, more substantial and much more modern boat than the rest of the range. Designed by Philippe Briand, who created the Océanis range, she can be thought of as a wheelhouse Océanis. The hull is full, shallow-bodied and fitted with a shallow-draught wing keel. She had a manageable rig with a roller-furling main as standard. The interior layout drew on the Evasion tradition with the galley, dinette and steering and navigation station in the wheelhouse and a double cabin in each end. She was built to the same standards as the Océanises with a good, if simple, finish over a sound structural base."[13]
