Plan of Cascade 36 (from Cascade website)
This is a cutter rigged version of the Cascade 36 – it has a bow sprit, jib and staysail. “Nolwandle”, like many Cascade 36’s is sloop rigged – that means she does not have a bowsprit and only has a genoa overlapping jib. This picture is from the Cascade website, but the shape of the stern is wrong – compare it to the plan below, which is what “Nolwandle” looks like. I wonder how they got their own boats so wrong?
Mariah III plan – again Nolwandle has a different layout. However the keel, especially the trailing edge looks wrong to me in this diagram. I think the diagram above from the Cascade site has the correct keel shape – see for instance the photos of Nolwandle’s keel in an earlier post.

My Cascade 36, Skookumlady, hull # 30, has the basic hull and keel configuration as shown, however, the sail plan with the bowsprit, cutter rig, are not the same. Wade had told me some many years ago that they had redesigned the sail plan. They moved the mast aft 12 inches, added a 12 inch bowsprit, and increased the mast height, forgot how much,. They then offered several different lead keels, deep fin, and shoal fin.

The reason that they show the stern with a different look is that the changed the stern and have designed a stern addition
That you see on on Raindrop sailing into Hawaii for the finish of the shtp race in 2008.
