Description:

The PDQ 36 Express Cruiser is a lightweight, high-performance cruising boat based on the PDQ 36 Capella. Extending the foam core hull construction below the waterline, among measures, has reduced the weight of the original design by 20%. The sail area has been increased by 29%, and daggerboards replace the fixed keels of the Capella.
