1998 Pacific Seacraft Pacific Seacraft 37

Step aboard and you’ll notice the little things that reveal a boat built by sailors, for sailors. The deep, secure cockpit keeps crew comfortable and confident when the breeze pipes up, while wide side decks and substantial handholds make moving forward at sea feel natural. The cutter rig gives you an easy, balanced sail plan with plenty of options when the weather turns fickle. Below, the sea berths are properly shaped and fitted with leeboards for real passagemaking, not just marina sleepovers. Tankage and storage are generous and sensibly arranged, so you can actually provision for the long crossings this hull invites. Every locker, latch, and corner shows the quiet, overbuilt mindset that has made these boats so respected offshore.

In these waters, you want a boat that’s as happy ghosting along in light trades as it is shouldering aside steep, confused seas, and this design does exactly that. The moderate displacement and powerful cutter rig deliver easy miles on long inter-island legs, yet the boat still feels nimble in tight anchorages and busy harbors. A protected prop and skeg-hung rudder shrug off the occasional coral head or floating debris. Ample ventilation and a bright interior help keep life aboard pleasant in a warm, humid climate, while robust deck hardware and substantial ground tackle systems inspire confidence when the afternoon squalls roll through. This is a hull you can trust when the horizon is a very long way off.
