1994 Pacific Seacraft 37

Design and Pedigree The Pacific Seacraft 37 is a highly respected long-distance cruising yacht with a proven offshore pedigree. Designed by William Crealock, she was conceived as a strong, elegant passagemaker with excellent handling characteristics. Because of this, the Pacific Seacraft 37 is widely regarded as a serious blue-water cruiser rather than a light-duty coastal yacht. Hull, Rig, and Sailing Balance This design combines a cutter rig with a canoe stern, which gives the yacht a beautifully balanced and sea-kindly motion. As a result, she remains comfortable and predictable in a wide range of conditions. These characteristics have made the Pacific Seacraft 37 a favourite with sailors planning extended offshore passages. Cruising History ‘Pride of Erin’ has an established cruising history, including extended cruising in the Hebrides and a passage to the Azores. This real-world use highlights the strength of the design and confirms her suitability for long-distance sailing. Build Quality Pacific Seacraft yachts are known for their exceptional build quality, and this example is no exception. Substantial deck fittings and robust construction throughout reflect the yard’s focus on offshore reliability. Because of this, the yacht feels solid and confidence-inspiring both on deck and below. Rigging and Sail Inventory The yacht benefits from an extensive and versatile sail wardrobe, well suited to cruising and heavy-weather sailing. This includes a fully battened mainsail with three reefs (Collins, 2009), stack pack and lazy jacks, and a wide selection of headsails. Condition and Recent Upgrades ‘Pride of Erin’ has been impeccably maintained and clearly cared for by knowledgeable owners. Recent upgrades include a high-cut genoa, a heavy-weather sail package, and updated running rigging. Because of this ongoing attention, she presents as a well-prepared and capable offshore cruiser. Location and Viewing The yacht is currently lying in Bangor Marina, Northern Ireland, and is available for immediate viewing by appointment.
