- The Express 37 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,800 lb (4,445 kg) and carries 4,600 lb (2,087 kg) of lead ballast.[2]
The boat has a draft of 7.25 ft (2.21 m) with the standard keel fitted. The later Mk II model offered an optional shallow draft keel of 5.92 ft (1.80 m).[2]
The first 25 boats built were fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GMF two cylinder diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW). Later boats had a three cylinder Yanmar 3GMF diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW). The fuel tank holds 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 85 U.S. gallons (320 L; 71 imp gal).[2][5]
The later Mk II version has a taller rig, an updated keel and rudder and a more cruising oriented interior. Only ten were built in this configuration.[5]
Operational history
The Express 37 finished first, second and third in its debut at the 1985 Transpacific Yacht Race.[5][6]
In a 2005 used boat review in Sailing Magazine, writer John Kretschmer concluded of the design, "The Express 37 offers exhilarating performance both on and off the racecourse. And although one-design fleets are shrinking, most 37s have a lot of speed left in them. Also, following the trend of their boats, as racing sailors get older and migrate toward more casual sailing, a logical decision might be to convert a 37 into more of a cruising boat."[5]
Marine surveyor and naval architect, Jack Hornor described the design in a 2007 review, "the Express 37 will appeal to sailors interested in racing more than the dedicated cruiser; although, there is no reason these mid-1980s models can’t serve double duty for prospective buyers looking for a reasonably priced, solidly constructed racer/cruiser...Although contemporary in appearance, Schumacher’s respect for the beauty of traditional, well balanced boats is apparent in this design."[6]

Fantastic editions
(Foredeck) "I wouldn't know, I've never been up here" LOL! Totally cracked me up!
That intro gets me everytime, so Miami Vicey. Love it.
its got that retro feel!
great videos, Scot. Keep them coming
We love this vessel.. Really nice.
Thanks! Express 37s are F$%KING kick a$$!
I LIKE THAT BOAT!!!
Loving the retro videos! How about a Tripp 47 or Serendipity 43 to add to the list? Way cool to see any of the Grand Prix IMS boats from back in the day also!
This is SICK! More line this please
Yessir! Shooting a Moore 24 today!
Scot, don't forget, there was a small fleet of Express 37s on Long Island Sound. Pretty sure they had some OD starts through the years. We love them back East too. I raced on one that had been converted to a wheel. Not sure who did the work, but it looked factory.
Awesome videos, keep 'em coming.
we got a few in the pipeline with both interesting cruisers and race boats
We had OD starts all through the 2000s and excellent sailors.
SA trash talk BS is for the birds.
I noticed Scot pointing out the checkstay winches in the cockpit. I used to do mainsheet on a Soverel 33 with checkstays. Had mainsheet coarse & fine, traveller, backstay, and checkstays all to hand. Not enough hands. Upwind in gusty conditions sometimes if I was working the backstay a lot, those checkstays got a bit of a workout. I imagine it might be similar on the Express 37.
Sailed an Express 37 out of Marblehead Mass back in the mid 80's. Loved that boat! Have a picture of us blasting downwind in my office. The enormous after berth was a great landing zone when back at the mooring after a night at Maddie's. You also didn't point out the two foot holes on the transom, perfect for hanging off the back stay doing your business on distance races!
i forgot to even mention that berth!
We had the transom foot holes on our Santa Cruz 27, and also on a later Olson 30. The "California crapper". Both those boats sailed on the East Coast: The SC27 on Long Island Sound and the O30 on Narragansett Bay.
Good city 🤔.......
I viewed this boat when new at a 1987 boat show in Alameda - climbed aboard - called it a ULDB - and was firmly corrected by the onboard sales rep (nice lady btw): "This is not a ULDB".. :)
it is certainly a ULDB!
I raced on that very boat for years! So much fun back in the 80s. Wish I could buy it back.
Who owned it when you raced on it?

@@enewberg2812 Did he name it Juno?
@@danmerino4465 yes. All his boats were named Juno. He bought it from some guys from Texas I believe and at first changing the name was a deal breaker but he explained the significance of the name and they all agreed.
Scot, if you ever get out of SoCal, readers/watchers would get a kick out of you getting onto Lake Ontario for a few features: Rochester YC- 'Rampage' a custom Concordia 47, perhaps the must exquisite racing yacht on the lake, In Sodus Bay, 'Jackeen' is a rebuilt 8mR with custom tweaks you'd love, and a great 8mR fleet out of Toronto that you could highlight how the rule boats were each unique. Also in Sodus Bay, some REALLY beautifully restored R-class boats: 'Vitesse' is the light air rocket, 'Shadow' is the brass/wood grand piano, and 'Nayada' is the heavy air workhorse. Great videos, keep them up, Scot. (and if you need a correspondent out here because Flipper and Travis are busy, get hold of me- and check out my start videos on ForedeckYoda here on youtube.)
Hey, Justin here, we have been talking a great deal about getting out of Diego at some point.Clearly tough with the times and the channel is still new, but as we grow so will our territory. We for sure want to hit the road with this. Ill mention this to Scot! Could be a lot of fun!!
love the retroboat videos - laser 28 maybe ?
Hey Scott - could you add things like a line drawing - maybe even some dats - sail/ dsp ratio - you know the good stuff -maybe even polars - woohoo now you are getting fancy
yes we can!
I can almost promise you this guy has seen Borat by the way he said “sexy time”
ya think? ;)
Great vid. Next time Olsen 40?
reminds me a lot of Olson 40
Have you ever seen a Challenger US 35 around your area ? I recently bought one that I have been restoring. These were built in Willmington CA during the 70s. If you know anything about these boats, it would be great to know since little info is available. For example, my boat has a Nissan built diesel engine package by Chrysler Marine back in the day.
yep! there is at least one down here, somewhere!
Ours has a big wheel.
Review an Ericson 36C for those of us that are cruisers?
Interesting placement of that winch on centreline on the cabin top. Wonder what that’s for? Given the other two winches on the cabin top for halyards, topping lift, spinnaker sheets.
Topping lift and outhaul
@@danmerino4465 Thanks. Unusual, but makes sense.
Trying to talk my wife into upgrading to one of these from our J/105 for family bay racing, maybe a Pac Cup or TransPac
show her the video!
hadlock - shoot me an email if you're serious. dmonk@usc.edu - they're great boats!
There is one for $20k in the Bay Area for sale
@@aw5529 probably going to stick with the 105 until interest rates go down
How about the HOBIE 33 and the Farr 37?
we are doing a hobie in a couple weeks
The boat is a bit sticky in zero to 3, but it isn't tender in a breeze.
it's sticky in anything under 8, and you are likely right about breeze, but i see they stack the meat on the rail on those things!
@@SailingAnarchyUSA You're right, and I just checked, looks like they increased the crew weight limits: The total number of crew for YRA season races or other one-design races shall not exceed 8 persons
without limitation on weight, or 1850 pounds without limitation of the number of crew.
When I owned one we had to put in knees under the genoa track as all that Righting Moment combined with low stretch lines/sail meant the deck wanted to deform.
@@SailingAnarchyUSAthe owner of the most successful Ex 37 on the east coast in the last 20 years often claims he should put bottom paint on the spreaders. Yes they are tender in a breeze
How about a j/125? I think there is one at sdyc? It’s retro now that they are 22 years old.
can do!
we done it!!!
You did it and nailed it. Great job Scott. And you are right those were sandbags targets. I would have to pull up the Velvet Hammer files from Transpac but I think we were at 16 knots in 20 knots at 142 surfing well past that. Day 5 when we gybed south we put up a 370 mile day on a 41 footer designed in the 1990’s. The 125 is a rocket ship.
Scott....what's the opening tune?
artlist.io/song/1213/the-monkey-funk
1,2,3 In Class C, not Overall in the 1985 Transpac. Overall, Montgomery Street won, Sweet Okole 2nd.
Nailed it again! But there the fuck did you hide his mic? The sound is so nice but i cant see a mic!!!!
industry secret. hahaha.
Sailing Anarchy I'm unsubbing......... 😂
Scott, love your videos, we have National Biscuit and been bringing her back to life, will be sailing her down your way this year, would love to take you out on her and get some ideas from you, I hate the runners, I am a new helmsmen and digging it, I was thinking a retractable sprite, this girl is coming back to life .
