About the Gozzard 37 Sailboat

Designed by renowned naval architect Ted Gozzard and built by North Castle Marine in Canada starting in 1998, this sophisticated cruising sailboat represents the culmination of decades of blue-water design experience. The Gozzard 37 embodies the builder's philosophy of creating seaworthy vessels capable of serious offshore passages while maintaining comfort for extended cruising. With its moderate displacement of 19,000 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, this yacht strikes an excellent balance between performance and stability. The fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration provides reliable tracking and offers protection for the rudder during shallow-water exploration. The cutter rig enhances sail-handling options and provides versatility in varying wind conditions, making it particularly well-suited for long-distance cruising. Notable for its solid fiberglass construction and attention to detail, the Gozzard 37 has earned respect among serious cruisers. The comfort ratio of 30.96 indicates a motion that favors seaworthiness over speed, while the capsize screening formula of 1.80 falls within acceptable parameters for offshore work. Ted Gozzard's reputation for designing robust, ocean-capable yachts is evident throughout, making this an excellent choice for couples or small crews planning extended coastal or offshore adventures.
