Without doubt the most exciting 37' footer in the performance cruising market today. The new Grand Soleil 37'is available in 'performance cruising' or "racing" version. This new design is aimed at those looking for a fast, well built short-handed cruiser, right up to top-end race teams. As with all Grand Soleil's, exceptional aesthetics and sailing qualities come as standard…

The new Grand Soleil 37’ designed by the team Botin & Carkeek has already achieved success by winning IRC class 4 overall in Cowes Week 2005 and the Spi Ouest IRC regatta in France.

The Grand Soleil 37’ is available in two or three cabins with one head.

The hull lines of the new Grand Soleil 37’ are taking advantage of the experience gathered with the all Grand Soleil Race boats which have dominated the most important European Races (both in IMS and IRC).

Similarly to the Grand Soleil 45’ & 50’, the hull is built in sandwich construction and utilizes a galvanized steel grid structure providing rigidity, strength and lightness.

The sail plan is based around non-overlapping headsails of around 107%. This provides fast tacking and the ability to carry full sail over a broad wind speed range. Smaller and fewer headsails keep the boat uncluttered and of course reduces capital expenditure.

Maximum priority is given to the question of safety and structural strength. The galvanized steel grid, which is attached to the hull with a metal/acrylic chemical bond and further reinforced with a multiaxial cloth, provides stiffness and strength unheard of in laminated hull structures. The one piece grid structure is designed to uniformly distribute keel, mast and chain plate loads. This has the added advantage of lowering the C of G of the boat and also improving the stiffness of the hull thus providing superior sailing characteristics.

The internal joinery is of light cherry stained mahogany. All control lines and halyards are lead aft to the coachroof winches and are concealed beneath the deck level.
