After the first CROWN 34’s were built, Calgan Marine sold the molds to GlassFab of Monroe, WA.,USA. A few were then manufactured and sold as the SUN 1030. Later, the molds were repossessed by Calgan and then sold to Clark Boat Co. USA. With a few modifications they were then built and sold as the SAN JUAN 34.
The CS 36 MERLIN, while having similar dimensions to the CS 36 TRADITIONAL, is a completely different design. While it was being produced a purchaser had five pages of options to choose from— a Kevlar or fibreglass hull; a swim platform or regular transom; a 28 hp diesel or a 43 hp turbo; a tall or regular rig and by the end, four keel configurations (shoal, wing, deep and performance bulb). As a result, other than the 20 or so that went into charter, no two Merlins are alike.
Contruction standards were high. The hull was hand-laid fibreglass or Kevlar with balsa core above the water and both hull and deck were vacuum bagged.
Wing keel version draft: 5.00′ / 1.52m.
