Soverel 36 Ketch (1965)
Description
The Soverel 36 Ketch (1965) is a masthead yawl designed by Bill Soverel and built by Soverel Marine (USA) starting in 1965. This 36-foot vessel represents the early pinnacle of Bill Soverel's vision for a versatile offshore racer-cruiser, developed in the North Palm Beach facility to bridge the gap between competitive racing circuits governed by the CCA (Cruising Club of America) rule and the shallow-water cruising requirements of Florida and Bahamas coastlines.
