Amazon 37

Designed by Grahame Shannon and built by Amazon Yachts in Canada starting in 1984, this steel-hulled cruiser represents a thoughtful approach to bluewater sailing. With only 17 hulls constructed, the Amazon 37 remains a relatively rare find in today's used boat market, appealing to sailors seeking a robust offshore platform with distinctive character. The steel construction provides exceptional strength and durability for extended cruising, while the fin keel and rudder-on-skeg configuration offers a good balance of performance and tracking stability. The cutter rig enhances versatility in varying wind conditions, particularly valuable for offshore passages where sail plan flexibility becomes crucial. At 20,350 pounds displacement with 7,000 pounds of ballast, this yacht carries the weight and stability numbers that serious cruisers appreciate for ocean voyaging. The comfort ratio of 33.26 suggests a motion that favors seaworthiness over speed, while the capsize screening value of 1.76 falls within acceptable parameters for offshore work. Her hull speed of 7.76 knots indicates respectable performance for a cruising yacht of this displacement. The 50-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering in tight quarters and charging batteries during extended passages.
