About the MALO 37
The Malo 37 is a fractional sloop designed by Leif Ängermark and built by Malo Yachts (SWE) in 2007. With a displacement of 17860.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 30.5, it offers a balanced blend of performance and stability for its era.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform for weekend trips or short offshore passages, given its moderate displacement and fractional rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.81 and a D/L ratio of 245.16, the Malo 37 is capable of offshore passages, though its single-year production run and specific structural concerns require careful vetting for serious bluewater use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Scandinavian designs from the mid-2000s with similar fractional rigs and moderate displacement, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 37 or Nauticat 37, which share similar cruising-oriented hull forms.
