{"id":653,"count":6,"description":"The Gozzard 36, a Ted Gozzard design, is presented in listings as a traditional blue\u2011water cruising yacht built to conservative, seaworthy principles. Owners and brokers emphasize the boat\u2019s heavy\u2011displacement hull, protected rudder or skeg\u2011hung rudder and traditional clipper bow with bowsprit\u2014features that contribute to a comfortable motion at sea, straight tracking and a sense of security in unsettled weather.\n\nConstruction details found in the listings note hand\u2011laid fiberglass hulls with balsa core above the waterline and cored decks (balsa except where plywood is used in high\u2011stress areas), a molded nonskid deck surface and substantial teak trim. Rigging descriptions consistently identify a cutter\u2011style masthead rig with a deck\u2011stepped aluminum mast, two sets of spreaders and a single backstay; several listings also describe roller furling on the jib and staysail to aid short\u2011handed handling.\n\nInterior arrangements are repeatedly highlighted for their flexibility. The Gozzard 36 is offered with a \u201ctransformer\u201d saloon and folding bulkheads or sliding panels that allow the forward lounge to convert rapidly to a centerline double berth, while accommodations typically include a forward double, a convertible saloon, and a generous aft single that functions well as a sea berth. Joinery is described as traditional and robust\u2014varnished teak or mahogany with cane\u2011inset locker doors\u2014combined with good headroom, plentiful storage and substantial ventilation from multiple opening ports and deck hatches.\n\nGalley and systems layouts reflect a liveaboard focus: an L\u2011shaped galley to port with a double stainless sink, three\u2011burner propane stove with oven and a top\u2011loading refrigerator\/freezer are noted, along with a well\u2011sited head with shower and sump pump. Listings also refer to reliable inboard propulsion with recent drivetrain work and electrical systems intended to support extended periods off\u2011grid.\n\nDeck gear and cockpit arrangements favor safe, manageable sailing: a protected aft cockpit with single\u2011wheel steering, wide side decks, secure lifelines, and amenities such as a dodger and bimini are common descriptors. Keel descriptions vary among listings\u2014terms used include full keel, long keel and, in some cases, modified fin keel\u2014and draft figures are cited as less than 5 feet in at least one listing.\n\nTaken together, the descriptions in current listings portray the Gozzard 36 as a thoughtfully detailed, traditionally styled cruiser aimed at sailors prioritizing robustness, interior flexibility and offshore capability rather than racing performance or minimal displacement.","link":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/brand\/gozzard-36\/","name":"Gozzard 36","slug":"gozzard-36","taxonomy":"brand","parent":652,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/brand"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/652"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reference?brand=653"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yachts-for-sale?brand=653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
