The motto of Santa Cruz Yachts - "FAST is FUN" says it all.  With the philosophy of fast and fun sailing, Santa Cruz Yachts utilize state of the art technologies such as carbon hull and deck, computerized construction techniques, and innovative lifting keel mechanism - all aimed to deliver fun and fast sailing - whether racing or cruising.  

The 37’s hull shape, while slippery in light air, was designed for stellar performance through a range of conditions. This boat will be fast upwind, but the heeling angles will feel more like you’re blast reaching. The hull is stiff, the ballast-to-displacement ratio is 46 percent; it’s meant for ocean sailing. With the right conditions and crew, speeds in excess of 20 knots can be expected. 

The cockpit includes two composite helms and pedestals that are finger light and rakishly angled. There are nice molded foot chocks in the sole for the trimmers and the leg support behind either helm is excellent. The deck gear is first rate and very well thought out.

The interior is surprising. You don’t expect it to find an inviting and comfortable cabin on a boat like this, but that is just what you find. There are two double bunks aft and a V-berth forward. The galley is to port and includes a two-burner stove and oven, a decent-sized stainless sink, and enough counter and storage space to make a nice meal underway. Hot and cold pressure water and refrigeration are options. The navigation station is opposite with a good-sized chart table and a comfortable chair. The electrical panel is mounted here as well.   The saloon includes two settees and a drop-leaf table on centerline that also covers the keel lifting apparatus.
