About the GIN FIZZ 37
Also avialable as a ketch. Center and aft cockpit models available. (Center cockpit shown here.) Also built by Gib'Sea.
Designed by Michel Joubert and built by Jeanneau (FRA) from 1974–1980, the Gin Fizz 37 is a classic French cruiser with a production run of 350 hulls. It combines a 37.4 ft LOA with a 15300.0 lb displacement, offering a balanced blend of performance and comfort typical of late-70s European design.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable interior and manageable handling over extreme bluewater endurance. Its 25.95 comfort ratio and 21.76 SA/D ratio indicate it is well-suited for shorthanded cruising and relaxed passagemaking.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a 1.99 capsize ratio and 252.98 D/L ratio, the Gin Fizz 37 is capable of offshore passages but is best characterized as a coastal cruiser with moderate bluewater potential rather than a dedicated heavy-displacement ocean racer.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Jeanneau 37.9 and other Michel Joubert designs from the same era, such as the Oyster 37 or Beneteau 373, which share similar displacement and beam characteristics. These vessels offer similar interior volume and performance profiles for owners seeking a proven 30s-era cruiser.
