Solid Shoal Draft with Spacious Cockpit and Interior!

The Princess 36, built by the long defunct Allied Boat Company up the Hudson River in Catskill, New York, is a robust character ketch that does not pretend to be anything other than a simple, comfortable cruising boat. In truth, it is a boat only a cruiser could love. Designed by Arthur Edmunds and first introduced in 1972, the Princess enjoyed a 10-year production run during which about 140 hulls were built, which likely makes it the most successful boat produced by Allied during its 22 years of existence (1962-84).

Though the Princess is undeniably a chunky craft, it is not unattractive. It's somewhat exaggerated sheer line leads up to a high bow, but blends nicely with its moderate overhangs and shoal-draft cutaway full keel. The boat's performance under sail, though decidedly unspectacular, is smooth and steady. The Princess is a bit beamy for a vessel of its vintage, and this combined with the shallow keel and modestly sized ketch rig makes it slow to windward. Reportedly a dozen boats were built with deeper keels (5'1" instead of 4'6"), as were a few sloop- and cutter-rigged boats, and all these should be faster and/or more close-winded than the standard boats.

A ketch-rigged Princess will sail best on a reach, particularly if a mizzen staysail is set between the masts. The long keel tracks well, the ketch rig is easy to balance, and many owners report that this, together with the non-reversing worm-gear steering found on most Princesses, makes it very easy to leave the helm unattended for long periods. The boat is also said to be a bit tender initially, though it rarely buries its rail, and otherwise has a comfortable motion in a seaway.

As with all boats built by Allied, construction is strong and simple. The Princess hull is solid handlaid fiberglass--24-ounce woven roving and mat with a surface layer of cloth under the gelcoat--with thicker laminate at the turn of the bilge and down low around the keel. The ballast is lead, glassed over and encapsulated within the keel. The deck is balsa-cored. All bulkheads are tabbed directly to the hull. The rudder stock, impressively, is bronze.

For a boat of its size and era, the Princess has a very roomy interior with standing headroom well over 6 feet. There are at least four different accommodation plans, each with a good-sized V-berth up forward, with a head behind it to port, and drawers and a hanging locker to starboard. All major variations were imposed aft of the main saloon bulkhead. Some boats have collapsible dinette tables (always to port), some have fold-down centerline bulkhead tables, some have smaller or larger galleys (almost always aft to starboard), some have single quarter berths aft to port, and some have small enclosed quarter-cabins with double berths instead.

The Princess, thanks to its shoal-draft keel, is a near-perfect low-budget family cruising boat for skinny-water cruising grounds like Chesapeake Bay, the Florida Keys, or the Bahamas. It will serve admirably, too, as a coastal cruiser in any deep-water locale, as long as you aren't too worried about getting places in a hurry. With its stout construction and easy motion it is also a good candidate for bluewater cruising.
