Designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens naval architecture firm, this distinguished 37-footer represents classic yacht design from the golden age of fiberglass sailing. Built by Grampian Marine in Canada starting in 1964, only thirty hulls were produced, making this masthead sloop a relatively rare find among vintage sailboats. The yacht's proportions reflect S&S's timeless approach to seaworthiness and performance. With a displacement of 16,400 pounds and substantial ballast of 7,400 pounds, she offers the stability and solid feel that serious cruising sailors appreciate. The fin keel configuration provides good windward ability while maintaining reasonable draft for accessing most harbors and anchorages. Her comfort ratio of 39.05 and conservative capsize screening value of 1.6 indicate excellent seaworthiness, making her well-suited for coastal cruising and capable of offshore passages. The sail area-to-displacement ratio of 15.9 suggests moderate performance characteristics—she won't be the fastest boat in light air, but will maintain steady progress in a variety of conditions. This Grampian appeals to sailors seeking a well-built, traditionally styled cruising yacht with proven ocean-going pedigree. Her Sparkman & Stephens heritage ensures classic lines and seaworthy handling characteristics that have stood the test of time.
