The Crealock 37, also called the Pacific Seacraft 37, is an American sailboat that was designed by British naval architect W. I.
[1][6][7] The Crealock 37 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a plywood core, with wood trim.
It features a raked stem, a raised canoe transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.
The head is located forward, just aft of the bow cabin, on the starboard side and includes a shower.
The citation says, in part, "The Pacific Seacraft 37 is a classic American sailboat with an honesty of design that, combined with the highest standards of boatbuilding as attested to by ABS certification for hull and deck construction and CE certification for unlimited offshore use, has shown the sailing industry that there is a place in the hearts and budgets of sailors for a boat created expressly to go to sea and bring the crew back safely.
"[5] In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote that the "underwater lines show a very normal fin keel, but the canoe stern is unusual.
John Kretschmer wrote in a 2008 review for Sailing Magazine, "downwind, the cutter is not particularly efficient, and some type of drifter or cruising spinnaker is necessary to maintain speed in light air.
However, the most underrated performance factor is seakindliness, as nothing wears out the crew or the gear faster than a quick, pounding motion.
