Verdict
A well-proportioned 36-footer with practical cruising layout, modest draft, and a proven Brazilian production pedigree. It is best suited to coastal family cruising and charter use rather than high-performance sailing, with solid livability and sensible systems for its size.
Pros
- +Two-cabin layout suits couples or small families
- +Generous standing headroom and cruising-oriented interior
- +Moderate draft helps in coastal and shallow-water cruising
- +Established design by Roberto Barros / B&B Barcos production line
Cons
- −Performance is more cruising-focused than sporty
- −Older 2007 build can mean variable condition and refit needs
- −Limited cabin count for larger private groups
- −Power and systems are modest by modern standards
The B&B 36 Segunda Geração is a Brazilian cruising sailboat with a straightforward, purposeful design from Roberto Barros and B&B Barcos. Public listings show a 36-foot class boat with about 10.6–10.8 m length overall, around 3.45–3.50 m beam, and a cruising-oriented fiberglass hull, which points to a stable, practical platform rather than an aggressively light racing boat.
On the water, the model is generally described as a comfortable long-distance cruiser with a sail plan around 64.5 m², a ballast/displacement ratio that supports steadiness, and a moderate draft around 1.5–1.75 m depending on the source. That combination suggests predictable handling, good coastal capability, and easier access to anchorages than deeper-keel cruisers, though acceleration and upwind speed are unlikely to be standout traits.
Livability is one of its stronger points for the size. Listings commonly show two cabins, two bathrooms in some charter configurations, about 2 m cabin headroom, and fresh-water capacity near 400–420 L, making it workable for extended weekends or charter service. The 2007 build year means condition matters a lot: well-kept examples can represent fair value, but buyers should budget for maintenance, canvas, rigging, electronics, and engine-age checks.
