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.
One of the later examples of the Rival 36 design RIVAL MISCHIEF was commissioned by a discerning owner and lavished with extras from the factory. She is a rare combination of options with the more versatile MkI interior combined with the shallower Scheel keel and wheel steering. With only her 5th owner since built she has had enjoyed continual maintenance and upgrading, maintaining her Lloyds 100A1 classification through until 2005. Reluctantly offered for sale she comes with a comprehensive inventory including highlights such as:
Lying ashore in Whitby the Rival 36 RIVAL MISCHIEF will be relaunched before the end of the month and then depart south to her new home waters of the Solent. We wish her new owners calm seas and a following wind for their late-season delivery trip.
