36' Cascade 36 '80 "Sonrisa"

SONRISA is a well found, shipshape sailing cruiser.  Her hand laid up Fiberglass hull is reputed to be one of the strongest built. She has been cruised all over the West Coast from Mexico to Alaska and most of Puget Sound.  The interior arrangement is perfect for long ocean passages without a lot of sharp corners to bump into.    The galley is also designed to be at sea with the sink near centerline and the gimballed propane stove within easy reach. There are overhead stainless steel grab rails to hang onto when moving about the interior.   The settee berths all have lee cloths to keep crew from rolling out of their bunks while underway. In port the interior is a comfortable home away from home. On deck the high toe rails keep a person from slipping off the deck and there again Stainless steel rails along the cabin top giving plenty to hold or clip on to while working on deck.    Her rig and sail plan are simple and straightforward.   Control lines lead aft into the cockpit.  A manual Simpson Lawrence windlass is mounted on the foredeck for anchor duty. SONRISA has been well-maintained throughout her life and is ready to head out once again for the next adventure. The included gear and repair parts leave little left other than your personal gear and provisions to cast off lines and go    A few personal items and the owner’s tools are excluded.

Accommodations

Starting at the bow is a V berth with a small hanging locker. Water tanks located below the berth. Overhead is an opening hatch for ventilation and exterior access. Next aft is the head/shower to port and a cedar lined hanging locker to starboard followed by a spacious cabin with 6 ft 3 inches of headroom. Settee berths are on either side with a folding table set just off center on the port side. There is deep storage space under the seats and behind the seat backs. Above the seats are bookshelves and lockers. There are stainless steel grab rails on either side of the cabin top and a large opening hatch overhead for ventilation. The cabin sole is teak. A propane cabin heater keeps things toasty and warm.

Next aft is the galley to port and the navigation area to starboard. The nav table has storage below it for charts and groceries. Aft of the navigation station is quarter berth. The engine compartment and companionway ladder to the cockpit are offset to starboard. The galley to port has been designed with working at sea in mind. The double sink is close to the centerline and the gimballed propane stove outboard. The refrigerated locker is on the port side in the galley. The surrounding space is lined with various cabinets and drawers for storing cooking utensils and food stores. If you have ever cooked at sea you will appreciate the arrangement.

Next aft up the companionway is the cockpit. The cockpit forward part is covered by a dodger. Under the dodger forward on the cabin top are sail and halyard controls. Navigation instruments are mounted on the bulkhead below. Surrounding the cockpit are several lockers for storage of gear and providing access to tanks and batteries. Further aft are spare anchor and propane lockers. The boat has tiller steering and is equipped for a Tillermaster type autopilot.

Everywhere you look you will see a boat that has been loved by knowledgeable owners who cared about a seaworthy boat.
