About the CRUISEMASTER 37
Also known as the LUDERS 37.
The Cruisemaster 37 is a classic full-keel sloop designed by Bill Luders and built by Cheoy Lee Shipyard (HK) in 1969. With a displacement of 19400.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 40.13, this vessel represents a heavy, stable platform typical of late-60s offshore cruisers.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and conservative bluewater sailors who prioritize stability and comfort over high-speed performance. Its heavy displacement and full keel make it ideal for those seeking a safe, predictable ride in varied conditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.64 and a D/L ratio of 394.53, the Cruisemaster 37 demonstrates strong inherent stability and seaworthiness for offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Cal 3-36 and the Tartan 36, which share similar full-keel designs, heavy displacement characteristics, and offshore cruising roles from the same era.
