Serendipity's Specifications

Gill on our boat – “On Ne Sait Jamais”
Our new boat as the "Koloa ”


New paint job now the "Serendipity"

36' Schock New York

The New York 36 was conceived by members of the New York Yacht Club. It is an excedptional design formulated after months of brainstorming by an outstanding blend of people. These boats were built to strict one-design standards. This is a racer/cruiser that takes advantage of the technologies of hull construction rig design & deck layout. This boat was designed as a one design racer, but is still comfortable below. Would you expect any less from the members of the New York Yacht Club?

Accommodations

The interior layout satisfies the performance sailor by placing the heaviest components near the boat’s center of gravity to minimize pitching. The interior is comfortable for cruising. The dinette is placed aft out of the main companionway, and the galley is well outfitted. There are two large double berths, one forward in a private stateroom and one aft under the raised bridge deck section of the cockpit. Two additional bunks give the boat a total of six berths Generous use of natural teak and wood paneling makes the interior warm and comfortable.
