About the CONDOR 37 (BUIZZA)

Also available with masthead rig. Specs from a 1976 review. "Le Prove di MARE2000" by Antonio Fuivi.

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Condor 37 is a fractional sloop designed by Daniele Buizza and built by RPD (ITA) in 1976, with an unknown total hull production count. It features a displacement of 8818.0 lb and a beam of 10.04 ft, offering a balance of performance and comfort with a comfort ratio of 19.5.

Best for:
This boat suits coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who value a responsive fractional rig and moderate displacement, as evidenced by the high prevalence of dodger and bimini installations for cockpit comfort.
Bluewater capability:
With a capsize ratio of 1.95 and a displacement of 8818.0 lb, the boat demonstrates reasonable offshore stability, though its single-year production run and age require careful verification of structural integrity for serious bluewater use.
Comparables:
Comparable to other 1970s European performance cruisers like the Beneteau First 36 or O'Day 36, the Condor 37 shares a similar era and role, distinguished by its specific Buizza design and fractional rig configuration.
