Fast is fun and a whole lot more. Fast is stable-with more sail power transferred to accelerating forward instead of healing. Fast is more comfortable-helping the boat move through the water with a smoother motion. Fast is safer-getting back to the marina or into the anchorage more quickly if the weather turns. Fast is more distance in less time! Get to that favorite anchorage before the crowd. Fast is easy-with small jibs and asymmetrical spinnakers, a large cockpit and uncluttered deck. Whether you're going round the buoys with friends, distance racing to Hawaii or Bermuda, or just to that special anchorage with the family-Fast is Fun again with the Santa Cruz 37.

The Santa Cruz 37's modern hull form represents our latest thinking for stellar performance in a variety of conditions. It is optimized for greatest speed potential at heel angles associated with blast-reaching conditions. This hull form also has the benefits of being relatively slippery in light air, as well as providing increased waterline for maximum upwind speed, and a comfortable ride. The SC 37 will get you anywhere quickly.

Emphasis has been put on developing a strong, stiff structure. And a strong hull is a safe hull. The hull and deck will be vacuum bagged, carbon fiber and epoxy resin with bi-axial and unidirectional reinforcements featuring structural PVC foam cores of varying densities based on load requirements. The primary frame/interior structure will be E-glass with unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcements to produce high strength-to-weight ratio panels and exacting tolerances. KYD has done all preliminary engineering to the ISO 12215 Standard, and final details will insure the yacht is capable of being CE certified for Category "A" offshore use. The SC 37 will feature cutting edge performance with an efficient hull and sail plan, plus high stability. The result-a highly stable and easily managed yacht capable of speeds in excess of 20kts with limited crew. Performance not just for racing but also for the pure joy of sailing. Ballast/displacement ratio is close to 50% (advantaged under IRC) with a lightship displacement of 8,662 lbs. (3,929.02 kg). We have designed the rig and sail plan in conjunction with leading sail makers to produce a versatile and easily managed sail plan which is also IRC, and family friendly.

The Santa Cruz 37 is easy to sail with a full crew or just short handed. The standard jibs will be non-overlapping 105% LP. The 5' carbon bowsprit with asymmetrical spinnakers keeps the fun going off the wind. And the sprit retracts within the forepeak but doesn't intrude into the v-berth space. The main will feature max top girths and full battens, a highly efficient shape. The backstay will be on a masthead "flicker" to facilitate tacking and gybing in light air.

The warm and efficient interior arrangement provides comfort and ergonomic space without excess weight. The layout features 6'-3" (1.9m) headroom throughout; large double/split quarter berth both port and starboard aft, with an ergonomic galley abreast of the companionway to port. An optional interior featuring a wrap around galley and cockpit locker port side aft is also available. To starboard is a generous nav area. Amidships are 6'-2" (1.88m) settee benches with drop-leaf dinette table. The seat backs fold up to become berths for crew or friends. Forward is an enclosed head and shower. The master stateroom features a double v-berth, storage bins, an ample hanging locker and a private entry from the forward cabin to the head. When we say go anywhere with the Santa Cruz 37, we mean it. A simple and reliable electric/hydraulic lifting keel system will be available allowing you to slip into skinny water whether it's your dock or favorite cruising area. The rudder blade is also capable of being lifted, while maintaining a reasonable counter-balance coupled to wheel steering.
