Description

First launched in 1980 the Rival 36 was the last of the Rival designs to be drawn by Peter Brett, the man responsible for creating the Rival brand and its iconic reputation as a robust reliable cruiser. Originally built by Southern Boatbuilding Company before the the merging of the Rival and Bowman brands there was reportedly a total of 78 hulls produced in the class before production ceased in the mid 1990’s.

OWNERS COMMENT:
‘Under previous ownership Paramour completed a World Arc circumnavigation, for our 5 years of ownership we have kept closer to home and have found her just as happy completing complex pilotage in the inner sea lochs of the Highlands, or fighting currents between the Islands, as she was crossing oceans. She is a delight to sail, reliable at anchor and a wonderful home away from home. It is only our growing number of grandchildren that has persuaded us to give her up for a larger boat.’
