1985 Carroll Marine Frers 36

The F36 was designed by German Frers as a racer/cruiser with a strong emphasis on racing. This model, originally known as the F3, was introduced in 1982 by Hinterhoeller Yachts of Ontario, Canada. In 1985 the molds were bought by Barry Carroll who revised the deck mold and interior design, and added a taller mast. Production was moved to his facilities in Bristol, RI. Although the primary design objective was to produce a racer/cruiser that could compete well under the International Offshore racing rule (IOR), the desgn has proven to be competitive under the various rating rules popular today. In addition, Frers was successful in designing a yacht that avoided the handling problems associated with earlier IOR designs. Thus, this yacht is considered a very comfortable cruiser and commands a premium in the market place.
