About the PRIVILEGE 37
The Privilege 37 is a French-built cruising sloop designed by Marc Lombard and constructed by Jeantot Marine from 1995–2003. With a displacement of 14000.0 lb and a Comfort ratio of 10.48, it offers a stable, comfortable platform that balances performance with liveability, though the exact hulls built count remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal and nearshore cruisers who prioritize interior volume and comfort over high-performance racing, as well as single-handers or couples seeking a manageable masthead sloop with a shallow max draft of 3.92 ft.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a Capsize ratio of 3.56 and a D/L ratio of 159.02, the Privilege 37 demonstrates solid offshore stability and seaworthiness, supported by owner reports of wind generator and watermaker installations that indicate a fleet actively used for extended passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau 373 and O'Day 38, which share similar production eras and roles as comfortable, family-oriented cruising sloops, though the Privilege distinguishes itself with its unique twin/triple keel options and French construction quality.
