Owner Experience Review

Produced from 1976 to 1989 with roughly 486 hulls, the 37byTARTANbuilt a reputation as a coastal cruiser that can hold its own in club racing. Owners and reviewers often echo Practical Sailor’s take of a “well-built, well-mannered and fast cruising boat,” noting a balanced helm, good upwind performance, and a steady heavy‑displacement motion in waves. Hull speed is around 7.5 knots; many report sailing near that with proper trim, and the common 40 hp auxiliary keeps the boat moving smartly when motoring.

Below, many variants with a long coachroof feel bright and roomy, and the joinerwork is frequently praised. The two‑cabin/one‑head arrangements seen on many examples are adequate for extended cruising, and the original water capacity of about 90 gallons reduces refill stops. Owners regularly cite comfortable multi‑day family trips—one calling them “super comfy boats that are great for long trips with friends and family!”

As with any balsa‑cored hull and deck, careful inspection for moisture intrusion and soft spots is routine. Original auxiliaries were often Westerbeke 4‑107 (40 hp); owners plan for standard diesel service and, given age, eventual overhaul or replacement on many boats. The skeg‑hung rudder has isolated reports of repairs and at least one loss, so buyers scrutinize rudder condition and any skeg modifications. Resale values are generally strong, but refit budgets for standing rigging and systems upgrades are commonly emphasized on older examples.

Pros and Cons

  • Balanced helm with good upwind performance and a steady, heavy‑displacement motion.

  • Comfortable for extended family cruising with a practical two‑cabin/one‑head layout and about 90 gallons of water.

  • Competitive at the club level thanks to S&S design and roughly 625 ft² of sail area.

  • Balsa‑cored hull and deck warrant thorough inspection for moisture intrusion and soft spots.

  • Original auxiliary (often a 40 hp Westerbeke 4‑107) is aging and may need overhaul or replacement.

  • Skeg‑hung rudder has isolated reports of repairs and at least one loss, so condition and any modifications merit scrutiny.
