I remember those Pacific Seacraft ads with the 37 up on it's side on a Pacific Ocean reef. It was dragged off and completed it's voyage. I'm pretty familiar with the 37 as my good friend (who made my new 316 mast step) owns one of the last made.
The 37 is STOUT! I thought my 323 was strong and it is, but a knock on the hull or deck of the 37 is like a knock on a granite boulder.
Similar to banging one's shin on a pickup trucks protruding trailer ball!!!
This is a good story about a retired engineer who bit off more than he could handle in the Atlantic.
I sure wish I'd have come across this pretty 365 and salvaged it. Another tribute to Bill shaw's genius at the drawing board (no cad design then) and on the factory floor.
