About the Boat

The Abbott 36 Krikkit was designed by Bill Abbott Sr. and built by Abbott Boats Inc of Sarnia, Ontario in 1985, hull #3 of about a dozen 36-footers the company built. The original owner was a friend of the Abbotts, a Dr. Rathman from Sault St. Marie. He found that the boat’s draft was too deep for his home marina in the Soo and the vessel would sit on the bottom, so the Abbotts agreed to modify the boat to provide shallower draft. It was hauled at the builder’s yard and the keel was cut down by six inches (from six feet to 5.5 feet). To balance this the mast was cut off just above the spinnaker halyard, and then the mast crane was taken from the offcut and welded back on directly above the spinnaker halyard. The net effect was to convert the rig from a 7/8ths fractional rig with running backstays to a simpler Euro-masthead rig with a fixed adjustable backstay. For racing, the original east coast PHRF is between 105 and 111, and as modified racing in BC the boat currently rates 123. Under ORC the boat has a GPH of 657.0. See Krikkit's PHRF and ORC certificates here .

About the Name

Krikkit is named for a fictional planet from Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Krikkit is populated by a humanoid race of people who “casually, whimsically” declare war on the universe because they’ve been brainwashed by a demolished-but-still-operating supercomputer that surrounds their planet as a dust cloud, blocking out the night sky. Despite their cosmocidal tendencies, the Krikkiters themselves are actually quite charming and friendly, and they compose incredibly poetic music. This captures the duality of a racer/cruiser — cosmocidal on the race course, charming and good-natured on the cruising grounds. Krikkit's battleflag, pictured at right, shows a Krikkit battleclub lobbing a Krikkit bomb .

About the Exhaust Outlets

What are the four exhaust outlets for? It’s a question everyone eventually asks. Few believe the truth, which is that one is for the diesel exhaust (as expected), one deploys gelatin powder to mire following race competitors in Jello, and the other two are jet outlets for short bursts of rapid acceleration.

For the skeptical, a convenient and believable lie is that the outside two are cockpit drains, one is for the bilge pump and one is for the diesel exhaust.

About the Designers/Builders

The Abbotts have been deeply involved in Canada’s competitive sailing scene for many years. Abbott Boats was one of the world’s top-ranked builders of Ynglings and Solings , and also built the Martin 16 and Ultimate 20, as a well as a series of 22-foot, 27-foot and 33-foot keel boats. However a massive fire at the yard shut things down in 2006 leaving Abbott Boats operating as a rigging shop and chandlery pending insurance settlement.

Bill Abbott Sr. qualified to sail for Canada in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, but missed his shot at Olympic gold when Canada followed other Western nations in boycotting the games. Bill Abbott Jr. and his wife Joanne went on to sail together in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and Bill sailed again with his brother Matt in the 2000 Sydney games. Bill and Joanne’s daughter Katie Abbott sailed Ynglings in the 2008 Beijing Olympics (Bill was an Olympic sailing coach at those games).

Review of Abbott 36

Basic specs..

The Abbott 36 is equipped with a finn keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a long keel.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.98 - 2.08 meter (6.50 - 6.80 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat is typically equipped with an engine.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Abbott 36 is 1.86, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.2 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Abbott 36 is about 180 kg/cm, alternatively 1011 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 180 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1011 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 19.27

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 33m 2 (355 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.

“ I just received my asymmetrical spinnaker, with sock and turtle bag, along with a new 135 Genoa. The entire process was simple and both sales and the design team were in regular contact if there were any questions. The customer portal was easy to use and lets you keep track of where in the process your sails are. Great sails, great service -Graham Edwards (Facebook)

“ The whole team at Precision Sails was fantastic from start to finish. We’ve had a laminate main and genoa made so far and have a spinnaker on the way. They listened carefully to our needs and recommended a great sail cloth. We couldn’t have gotten more bang for our buck! -Noah Regelous (Google)

“ We received our spinnaker and launched it yesterday and I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with it. The service we received from your company was exceptional and the quality of your product is second to none. We will certainly be return customers in the next few months to replace our main and jib sails and will recommend your company to all our sailing buddies. Once again-thank you.” -Daniel Jackson (Google)

“ we had good communication during the planning stages and the knowledgeable people at precision sails really got me fixed up good! The sails look and work fabulous! my boat sails better than it ever had! couldn’t be more pleased with the product AND the service!” -Fred Jelich (Facebook)

“ Our new furling jib for a Corsair 27 Had to be specially designed due to the height of the furler, but this was accomplished quickly and in short order we had our sail which fits beautifully and has a great shape. It’s everything we could have wanted, high tech design, thoughtfully executed and affordable.” -Nancy Y. (Yelp)
