1991 Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37

In the 28 years since the Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37 was first introduced, it has proven itself countless times, in all corners of the world, to be the true world voyager that it is. The Crealock 37' was inducted into the Sailing Hall of Fame in 2002. She's been the benchmark for world cruisers for 20 plus years and rightfully so. It's excellent performance and balance is well established. This voyager shocks even the most experienced sailors in lighter air. While everyone expects a passage maker to perform well in 30 knots of breeze, most are genuinely surprised to see this lively lady tack gracefully in 2-3 knots of true wind.

Famed author Ferenc Mate? devoted an entire chapter in his book "The World's Best Sailboats", to Pacific Seacraft and stated "All the Crealock creations are aesthetically sophisticated, ideally proportioned and some of the best handling, most sea kindly boats in the world". Her second owner purchased her in the summer of 05 and because of personal changes in his life, reluctantly offers her for resale. She is seriously for sale and definitely worth taking a personal look at!

"One must bear in mind the main purpose of a design. The 37 throughout, was aimed at those people who, while wanting a pleasant boat to sail locally, just might want one day a boat able to take them in safety to any part of the world; and this with as much speed and comfort as possible without detracting from seaworthiness. I consider crew fatigue to be a major enemy of seaworthiness, and this meant an easy motion, dryness, strength, windward ability, a comfortable deep cockpit, a safe interior and, above all, ease of handling and balance with or without steering aids. With a small crew, possibly no longer athletically endowed, these are what make for fast passages.

The principal dimensions, amount of overhang, underwater shape were all chosen for that main purpose, hopefully including a touch of elegance. There are negatives. Interior volume tends to be judged relative to overall length making the hull with longer overhangs seem smaller. Similarly, the ratio of beam to overall length appears less, whereas the more important ratio of beam to waterline length may be normal. The displacement/length ratio will also seem larger with the longer overhangs. Beware the numbers game; it’s too easy to fake.

Finally, with shameless conceit, a great deal of thought went into the underwater after body in an effort to produce a boat which would take care of its crew under the most severe conditions. Perhaps it worked; we had reports from two 37 owners caught out under just such conditions, in each case running for their lives under bare poles before heavy wind and seas hitting the peg at 12 knots when surfing. Both made the same remark,' steering was so easy it would have been more fun with a tiller.'  Bill Crealock

When you step aboard a Pacific Seacraft, it is obvious why they have the excellent reputation that they do. There are substantial bulwarks with a heavy teak cap rail. The teak joints are hand fitted with butterfly joints. The 30" high, double lifeline stanchions are mounted on the bulwarks to resist moisture intrusion into the deck. The deck hardware is all larger than found on most vessels and is all chrome plated solid bronze- nothing but the best. The list goes on and on, reinforcing with every item the quality, strength and safety crafted into every boat.

The sails on Sea Bard are practically new. The owner made a serious investment by replacing the sails, adding the Dutchman flaking system, boom vang and running rigging in anticipation of offshore voyaging. The previous owner had just finished replacing the standing rigging. A job change sent him overseas and consequently the sails have seen almost no use.
