37' Custom Steel Cruising Sailboat

Custom Built Steel Cruising Sailboat, 37 ft in good condition. This boat was designed by Marcel Subrero for the previous owner. Marcel Subrero is well known for his steel cruising boat designs. The hull was welded at the famous Plataret shipyard in France, then the boat was finished in Geneva, Switzerland by some extremely talented craftsmen and engineers. The boat is excellently constructed. It was launched in 1988 in the French Mediterranean and cruised the world for 30 years before we bought it in Port Townsend, Washington in 2020.

We are in the final stages of a very extensive refit and for personal life reasons need to sell the boat. We are currently still painting and installing parts of the interior. Below please find information on all the jobs that we have recently finished and jobs that are still on the to-do list.

Boat Walkthrough:
Starting aft, large double quarter berth to starboard (over 6 foot 6 inches long), single quarter berth to port. Galley to port with refrigerator and double sink, full- size chart table to starboard. Large L-shaped settee to port with a beautiful mahogany table. Linear settee to starboard. Forward of the settee to starboard is the Refleks heater. Forward of the salon on the port side is a spacious double Pullman berth (6 foot 6 inches long). Hanging locker and storage to starboard. The head (composting head) and very large storage area (for sails etc.) are forward.
Standing headroom in the main areas of the boat is 6 0. Forward of the salon in the forepeak standing headroom lowers to 5 9 5 10 due to the flush decks. The hull plating thickness is 4mm, the keel is 6mm, and the forward edge of the keel is an 8mm thick steel. The bottom of the keel is approx. 20mm thick steel plate. The skeg-hung rudder is comprised of a sturdy box-section skeg and a stainless-steel shoe attached with 3 large titanium bolts. The mast is deck-stepped with a heavy duty mast step welded on the deck and a burly polished stainless steel compression post. LWL 31.5', Beam 12', Draft 5.5'.

Standing Rigging:
All new standing rigging using 1x19 Stainless Steel wire and Hayn Hi-MOD fittings. All new Hayn turnbuckles as well.
Final inspection, and tuning of the rig
by Brion Toss Yacht Riggers of Port Townsend, WA.

New Sails custom built for the boat in 2021 & 2022:
All new sails by Schattauer Sails in Seattle, WA. Many offshore cruisers and racers consider Schattauer Sails to be the best in the business. We have found their sails and support to be second to none. All the sails have every offshore option that Schattauer sails offer. Harken mast cars and the highest quality Rutgerson batten cars raise and drop the main with ease.
(New in 2021) 330 sq ft. Mainsail with all Schattauer Offshore options, 3 reefs, Rutgerson batten cars (4 tapered battens). Very low hours on the main.
(New in 2021) 125% (425 sq ft) roller Genoa with all Schattauer Offshore options, on a Profurl furler. Profurl furler has been rebuilt with all new seals and bearings. Very low hours on the Genoa.
(New in 2022) 100% (125 sq ft.) Hank on Staysail with all Schattauer Offshore
options. The inner stay incorporates an adjustable/removable turnbuckle at the
deck. Very low hours on the staysail.

Hull Condition and Painting:
We have a professional ultrasound report of the hull plating from 2018 which
determined that the steel hull plating is still the original thickness. Inspection of the
original barrier coat also confirmed the excellent condition of the steel.
We removed 30 years of bottom paint and inspected the original barrier coat (which was still in excellent condition). Applied 7 coats of Interlux 2000e and then 4 coats of Micron CSC bottom paint. Added a boot stripe in Interlux Perfection.
New Topside Paint: Epiphanes two-part
polyurethane topside paint.

Inside the boat, we removed all insulation and inspected the paint/ steel, which proved to be in excellent condition. In the bilge areas (and many other areas) we added an extra layer of paint (Interlux Bilgekote) and then re-insulated with foil- covered rigid foam insulation (1 thick on the hull and 1.5 thick for the deck). All seams are sealed with adhesive-backed foam tape insulation and UL-listed foil tape
for sealing HVAC ducting.

Mast work:
Completely re-wired mast with the highest quality multi-strand tinned Ancor brand marine wire.
New B&G wind instrument
New Lunasea LED Tri-color masthead light
New LED Deck light and Steaming light
Brand new Shakespeare Squatty antenna for VHF and AIS.

New Lifelines:
All new synthetic Dyneema lifelines and Colligo Marine line terminators and fittings.

Engine:
Our Perkins 4108 has approximately 2500 hours and runs great. The previous
owner kept up with all maintenance thoroughly and on time and we have done the same, including the following maintenance and upgrades:
We had the high pressure fuel pump completely rebuilt, the injectors serviced, and we replaced and upgraded much of the wet exhaust including the mixing elbow.
We installed a serpentine belt on the engine.
Installed a Racor prefilters (10 microns).
Installed a bronze 3-way valve for fuel polishing the entire tank down to 2 microns.
Rebuilt sea chest and raw water pump.
