[@tomstopper5281]

Wow, so well maintained a cared for. Looks like a great boat to buy.

[@srmetamorphose]

I've looked at this boat in-person. There is much about it I like, especially the engine access. If it had a keel stepped mast we would put it higher on our list. The head is a bit cramped and the quarter berth is narrow for the size of the boat. Definately a 2 person boat. It is lovely, though.

[@Whit-mh9nt]

The head is cramped and quarter berth narrow in return for a better capsize screening number and better handling in a following sea. Participularly in heavy weather where you can lose steering surfing too fast down a huge wave and pitchpole, before you can safely deploy a drogue.

[@leecowell8165]

@@Whit-mh9nt Moitesier never used a drogue and that guy was around the horn in a 39 footer. It WAS a double-ended ketch though. This boat also doesn't have a full keel.

[@beebester4106]

A lot of boat for the size, great presentation!

[@chriscodrington5464]

just a detail...I believe technically that is actually a solent rig because thedistance from forestay to mizzen is quite short...alot of folks adopted the solent with a furler as a convenient solution to snotty weather....furl genoa and mizzen balances the reefed main in a variety of settings down to 3rd reef or even a trysail.

The PS 37 on my short list of boats, but hoping the market softens enough in the next couple of years that one of this age is more in the range of $75k than a $120k. When you start adding up refit costs it can double the cost if there is major work to be done (rigging, chain plates, engine, batteries, solar, wind vane, electronics, etc. etc.).

I really like this boat and see myself living in it. It seems to be in very good shape/condition. Very small cockpit and narrow at under 11 feet, this sailboat is designed for 1 person. Yeah, made for me.

The small cockpit is for ocean sailing.

[@Whit-mh9nt]

[@Ogsonofgroo]

Love Crealocks and PC builds well thought out and finely crafted vessels that are tough and beautiful, I'd trust a small one near anywhere :) Nice boat, great condition and the asking price is reasonable I think. I'm in the PNW Canada and there are more than a few around, but rarely for sale in this nice of shape.

[@Whit-mh9nt]

Know anyone who could and would sail a boat down to SE Asia for me for a reasonable fee? I am canadian and need a boat that matches my passport and the selection is just better there...boats here are truly expensive and immigration stuff will be difficult with a flag different from my passport in some places...

[@tedrick4713]

How much???????

[@vincent7520]

Tzo people??? I sail with a crew of three or four plus me as a skipper. Plenty of room for that meany people; a little bit cramped but when you sail far in a limited amount of time (a month) you can go quite far instead of being stuck on the same playground… Then pulling up the cabin sole is a very bad idea. At one point or another you'll get a leak on a critical part of the boat. Provision should be made to have access to the rear of the engine either by the front (if space provides) or by the sides either thru the lockers or thru a bunk.

[@Antipodean33]

I've never heard a 37 foot sail boat described as a "pocket cruiser" I'd hate to hear what you'd call a 20 foot cruising sailboat with a full keel. Price is too much, she's a nice boat but at 37 foot she's tiny inside and for that same cash you can find a much later model boat, with less hours, much more room and probably a better boat all round
