Designed by Knut Jacobsson and built by Jacobssons Båtbyggeri from 1974–1988, the Fantasi 37 is a robust cruising sloop with 82 hulls produced. Its heavy displacement of 18739.0 lb and full keel design reflect a focus on stability and seakeeping over pure speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and safety, particularly those seeking a stable platform for bluewater passages or long-term liveaboard use.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.71 and a comfort ratio of 35.82, the Fantasi 37 is well-suited for offshore cruising, offering excellent stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other Jacobsson designs like the Fantasi 33 or 40, as well as heavy-displacement full-keel cruisers from the 1970s such as the Cal 34 or Valiant 40, due to similar build quality and conservative hull forms.
