About the APACHE 37 (CHRIS-CRAFT)
Dimensions from builders literature. (1966)
The Apache 37 is a robust, heavy-displacement cruising sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Chris-Craft (USA) between 1966 and 1970, with a total production of 80 hulls. Its substantial displacement of 13022.0 lb and beam of 10.19 ft reflect a design philosophy prioritizing stability and seakeeping over speed, resulting in a comfortable but moderately powered vessel.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable platform for extended weekend trips or moderate offshore passages, particularly owners willing to invest in significant maintenance of the aging deck structure.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.74 and a displacement of 13022.0 lb, the Apache 37 possesses strong inherent stability and motion comfort suitable for offshore passages, provided the critical structural integrity of the deck core and keel attachment is verified.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Tartan 37 and the O'Day 38, as they share similar production eras, heavy displacement characteristics, and Sparkman & Stephens or similar conservative design philosophies that prioritize safety and comfort over high-performance sailing.
