The Nor'Sea 37 is an American sailboat that was designed by Lyle Hess as a global blue water cruiser for living aboard and first built in 1992.
Production
The design was built by Nor'Sea Marine in Dana Point, California, United States, starting in 1992 but it is now out of production.
Design
The Nor'Sea 37 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter rig, a raked stem, a rounded transom, a keel and transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed modified long keel with a cutaway forefoot. It displaces 19,600 lb (8,890 kg) and carries 7,200 lb (3,266 kg) of lead ballast.
The boat has a draft of 5.58 ft (1.70 m) with the standard keel.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese 4JH2-E diesel engine of 51 hp (38 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 100 U.S. gallons (380 L; 83 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 170 U.S. gallons (640 L; 140 imp gal).
The design has sleeping accommodation for seven people, with a double berth in the bow cabin, a drop-down dinette table in the main cabin, a pilot berth amidships on the port side and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the galley on the starboard side.
The boat has a hull speed of 7.64 kn (14 km/h).
