1979 Union Marine Pacific Cutter II

Rainbow Chaser is on land currently cradled on a Heavy Duty trailer with air bags and 5th wheel tongue. It is located just a few short miles from a nearby haul out yard for launch. The boat with or without the trailer is negotiable dependent on buyers wishes and ambitions. The Isuzu engine has been pulled and has been replaced with a running Perkins 4-108. Engine room needs stringers lowered to accommodate engine height.

The Union 36 is a heavy-displacement, full-keel, double-ended cutter-rigged cruising yacht (similar to Perrys U.S.-built Valiant 40).

Like others of its kind, the Union 36 has pleasing lines, and the boat often draws admiring glances.

As is the case with most Taiwanese-built boats from the 70s and 80s, the Union 36 is heavy with teak. The wood can be found in the interior joinery, the cockpit and coamings, cap rail and bulwarks, and decks, if they were specified during construction (as was the case with most Unions of that period). the Union 36 is usually excellent, showing craftsmanship that was affordable only because the local carpenters were paid a fraction of what their U.S. counterparts earned. The end result is a warm, inviting interior where brass lamps seem to belong naturally.

Accommodations

The interior of the Union 36 is straightforward, with plenty of headroom and ventilation. It is a good-sized boat with plenty of storage below, although the interior layout can vary slightly between vessels.includes a large double berth forward. Just aft on the port side is a head compartment with a separate stall shower, and across from the head is a large hanging locker.

The main saloon features a large U-shaped dinette to port (with plenty of storage behind and beneath the seats) and a long settee to starboard. The settee pulls out to form a sea berth or additional seating for the dinette. Theres also a full-sized pilot berth.The U-shaped galley is located to port and contains a deep double sink, a three-burner CNG stove/oven, and a 12-cubic-foot icebox
