Prior 37
6 / 32 - score 56%
The Prior 37 is a 37.01ft masthead sloop designed by Alan Buchanan and built in wood teak by R.J. Prior and son Ltd since 1963.
6 units have been built.
It accomodates 6 people in 2 cabins plus salon.
The Prior 37 is a heavy sailboat which is a high performer. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a fast cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
