The Dehler 372 is a German-built fractional sloop designed by Van de Stadt, with production records indicating a build year of 1983. As a representative of Dehler's performance-oriented lineage, this vessel combines a 37.07 ft LOA with a displacement of 12769.0 lb, reflecting the brand's reputation for speed and build quality.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize sailing dynamics over heavy bluewater comfort, given its relatively light displacement and fractional rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.94 and a comfort ratio of 25.24, the Dehler 372 is designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than heavy offshore passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 37 and the Beneteau First 36.5, as they share similar era, length, and a focus on performance cruising with fractional rigs.
