5 / 22 - score 58%
The Buchan 37 is a 37.0ft masthead sloop designed by Bill Buchan Sr. & John Buchan and built in fiberglass by Buchan Boat Co. since 1965.
50 units have been built.
The Buchan 37 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat.
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.
