The Heron 36 is a brand-new 2026 build from naval architect Dibley, now in Auckland. At 11.1m length with a 3.6m beam and a shoal 0.9m draft, this monohull is drawn for quick work upwind without losing the comfort owners want for a weekend away or a longer coastal run. Dibley has long been known for hulls that New Zealand sailors trust offshore and inshore, and the Heron 36 carries that lineage through a composite platform built light, stiff and durable.
Below deck, two cabins give couples or small families proper accommodation, and the layout is open and well lit rather than closed in. Because this is a new build, buyers get to choose finishes and systems to match how they plan to use the boat, whether that is cruising or the odd club race. It suits Hauraki Gulf weekends, longer passages, and racing when the mood takes you, backed by a hull shape with real pedigree behind it.
