One-of-a-kind J/37C in excellent condition

Description

The J/37c is a great all-around boat that is as comfortable on the racecourse as it is cruising the islands. Zephyr is an excellent, and unique example of this model, and she features some noteworthy customizations and updates that make her one of a kind. These include the addition of a custom sugar-scoop swim platform, the relocation of the main traveler out of the cockpit, the addition of a removable inner forestay with storm jib, shoal draft keel, and several updates including a recent Yanmar diesel, electronics, new bottom job, and plumbing and electrical system improvements to name a few. She is well maintained, exceptionally clean and ready to go. If you are looking for a performance cruiser that can also hold her own on the racecourse, Zephyr should be on your list.

Manufacturer's Description

From the J/37c brochure:

Four design features allow the J/37c to achieve a unique blend of performance and livability:


1. The dual entry head, accessible from the Main Cabin and the Forward Stateroom, allows a private entrance forward and a direct entrance for guests through the main bulkhead. This maximizes head access and stateroom privacy


2. The spacious ''J-shaped'' galley has large dry goods storage shelves, drawers, cabinets, a unique molded dish storage locker, a large 6.0 cu. ft. ice box, and plenty of ventilation all of which make meal preparation a breezed and clean up a snap.


3 . A private aft stateroom with plenty of standing/changing room at its forward end features two opening ports a vanity table, drawers, cabinet, and storage above the engine compartment. A reading seat is also included and provides a comfortable and quiet area to read a favorite book or make the daily log entries. the stateroom is far enough forward and enclosed to obtain proper dry storage for duffels and standing headroom under the cabin trunk.


4. A deluxe owner's stateroom located forward of the main structural bulkhead features a private entrance to the head, a huge V-berth with filler for sleeping comfort, a large vanity table with multiple drawers and cabinets, full length shelves, teak ceilings, superb ventilation from three opening ports and two skylight hatches. The structural bulkhead also isolates the owner from noisy night owls in the cockpit, or late night rafting parties.
