Description
"ARETE" is a nice example of this legendary Bill Crealock design. 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. This voyager shocks even the most experienced sailors in lighter air. While everyone expects a passagemaker 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.
Her second owner purchased her in the summer of 05 and because of personal changes in his life, reluctantly offers her for resale. A 2005 survey is available for serious inquiry

Accomodations
When one enters the interior of a Pacific Seacraft, it becomes readily apparent that this is a vessel created for distant horizons. Unlike her plastic sisters, hand holds abound and there is an immediate feeling of safety and comfort. "ARETE" features the standard Pacific Seacraft 37 layout which includes the owner's cabin forward with a vanity seat and generous storage and locker space. An L-shape convertible dinette to starboard converts to a spacious double berth in the main salon and there is a settee/berth opposite which makes up into a fine sea berth. An enclosed head compartment with shower is forward and the sit down nav station is to port. The nav desk is provided with an AlpenGlow marine light, forward of the spacious quarterberth. The galley, aft to starboard, features deep double sinks, a Force 10 propane 2 burner LPG stove with oven and Adler-Barbour Cold Machine refrigeration. Throughout the interior is beautiful teak joinery and a teak and holly sole. She sleeps six adults in a two cabin, single stateroom configuration.

Hull and Deck
Here are the deisgner's comments;
"One must bear in mind the main purpose of a design. The 37 was, throughout,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, its too easy to fake.
Finally, with shameless conceit, a great deal of thought went into the underwater afterbody in a 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
