About the Princess 37 Robb Sailboat

Designed by the renowned Arthur Robb in 1958, this classic 37-footer represents the golden age of traditional yacht design when seaworthiness and elegance went hand in hand. Built by Hong Kong's respected Cheoy Lee Shipyard, the Princess 37 showcases beautiful wood construction that has stood the test of time across more than six decades. The masthead yawl rig provides exceptional sailing versatility, allowing for balanced sail handling in varying conditions while the mizzen offers additional options for heavy weather sailing. Her long keel configuration delivers outstanding directional stability and self-steering capabilities that make her particularly well-suited for offshore cruising and passage making. With a displacement of 20,000 pounds and a comfort ratio of 51.97, this design prioritizes seakindly motion over pure speed, making extended voyages more pleasant for crew and passengers alike. The substantial build quality typical of Arthur Robb's designs, combined with her proven seaworthiness, has earned the Princess 37 a loyal following among serious cruising sailors who value traditional yacht virtues. Her moderate beam and elegant proportions reflect classic yacht aesthetics while providing adequate interior volume for comfortable cruising accommodations suitable for coastal and offshore adventures.
