The Santa Cruz 37 was one of several new high-performance keelboats introduced at the 2008 Annapolis Boat Show. However, describing the SC37 as a “keelboat” isn’t really accurate. This is a 37-foot lightweight carbon raceboat with horsepower to burn. Its high aspect-ratio torpedo bulb keel provides plenty of stiffness by getting the lead bulb 7 feet, 6 inches below the waterline; it also fully retracts with a powerful winch or optional hydraulic ram. The bulb comes up nearly flush with the hull to ease trailering and even make launching from a ramp possible (instead of having to line up for the crane). Here’s my take-away from a test drive that took place in a building breeze at the mouth of the Severn River, off Annapolis, Maryland.
Construction
Both the hull and deck are built with carbon-fiber fabrics, epoxy resin, and a structural PVC foam core, over a layer of isophthalic gelcoat in the mold. Hardware mounting points and high-load areas on the deck are reinforced with high-density-foam inserts and biaxial and unidirectional carbon fiber. The structural grid is made of E-glass with carbon-fiber reinforcements and is bonded to the hull with methacrylate adhesive. The main structural bulkhead is made of carbon with a PVC foam core and is bonded to both the hull and the deck.

These videos are helping to keep me sane during the off-season. Neat to learn about a lot of different boats while my own is undergoing some fiberglass/repair work this winter. Cheers from the snowy Midwest, and keep 'em coming Scot!
you know it!
Another FUN video Scott!!!!! ULDB all the way!
Another awesome video Scot! You've put together a really entertaining video series that's informative too. Thanks for putting in what I'm sure is a lot of time and energy into these.
well we are flattered! the boys behind the camera and in front of the editing screen really get the credit.
@@SailingAnarchyUSA Justin & Nobleman Productions are undeniably very talented!
Very cool boat. Well designed and kept simple for a ULDB. Even better video!
Always like to hear the background info, and the good, bad, and ugly (rating in this case). Keep it up.
we like for people who don't know about a boat, to know about a boat!
This boat is one of the nicest you've done so far. And I love the NWA hat, Scott. Definitely wear it the next time you're in Compton!
love these tours
Nice to discover loads of boats I have never seen here in the Netherlands, own a J24 myself and looking for a bigger boat. Love t see a J105 one time 😃
we can do that and we will do that!
Scott great work again.
dude, thank you!
You rock, I like your idea of the bowsprit, thinking I'm gonna do that on national biscuit and use the J boat design.
Tour of an Olson 40 and Soverel 33 would be great! May be a classic C&C like 35 mkII/III, 38, Landfall 43 or 37R. Very old school is a Tatan 41 or 44.
Great vid. I've always wondered about this platform.
Very nice boat, I enjoyed the tour Scott. The compromised-based design reminds me a lot of the Laser 28.
I am loving your videos. I grew up in Santa Cruz in the70's and my school bus went by the chicken coop where Merlin was built. In the 80's I helped build and race a Gary Mull design 30' in Eureka Ca called the Humboldt Bay 30. There are still a few around, mostly a PNW boat, so probably none in your area , but a super fun boat to race in.We campaigned it from the Swithsure to Ensenada, but nothing gnarlyer than a Humboldt Bay Whistler Race.
Another awesome review!!!!! Miss the old intro music!
changin' $%it up, yo
Oh heck yeah these videos are friggin great, and that boat looks wonderful down below. -- Im not sure if its to Scotts taste, but I would really like to see y'all show more classic east coast boats maybe a Cape Dory or an Alberg? im sure yall have some of those floating around on the opposite coast.
my tastes are anything that is cool. we don't have many of those types out here, but we are shooting a six meter today!
@@SailingAnarchyUSA i almost wanted to suggest a 12 1/2 too... but a 6m is just as well! looking forward to it
There is a Sydney 41 heading out to California from Chicago this season for a refit. The interior is similar but not much else. It's another downwind racer with some amenities and a tall rig and deep keel. It would be a pretty cool boat for you to check out for the program if it ends up near SD. Keep em coming, Scott.
Who has the production moulds for Santa Cruz 37? Love this boat, Someone should take the moulds to Mexico and build them with infusion, as we did at Corsair. Some of John F27 sails were made largely in Mexico
Thanks, I always enjoy when I get notification of new video. How about a fetish video of all your favorite windows.
i love that idea!
I love the beanie. lol
Nice video.
There were a couple in SF and they always complained about the rating. More than a few times they finished first and corrected near the bottom. Their tiny added prod is not going to help with the rating. Twice boats tied up next to us on a weekend regattas and I remember they had no cleats. Ok racy race boats have no cleats but it was a real pain as was listening to them complain about their rating. And you are right about the costs. They were very pricey, very close to a used but nice SC52. But the deep keel and large booty worked well in San Francisco but the big kite could be a handful.
What a nice boat, thanks for the video. Reminds me a little bit of the Mumm 36 (ok, I wrote this before I saw the interior...). There's no Mumm in your area for a review, I think?
Wow, very light. My SC28 displaces 8'500lbs.
How about an elliott video, you know, the pretty hot trailerable rocket ship that you can take the family out for a weekend too? I think you guys in the states have the 770? That should feed your window ferish as well!
hard to find but i will look
Very nice boat for offshore racing, this boat would probably be very competitive in it's class in races like the Cape to Rio and the Transact, as well as shorter races like the Rolex Sydney Hobart and Fastnet races, looks very much a downwind boat. The exterior lines and aesthetics are almost exactly the same as the '95 Simonis custom Robert and Caine 64' Cape to rio boat I race on, same solid pane outside with dividers inside.
The guy from TX took Santa Cruz Yachts on his BL SC 52 purchase issue(s0 that r contract non compliance. Yea, I think so. Nice tour. mb e27
When speaking of the two attachment points for flying sails you said "the boat has a duplicity". Duplicate might be what your are looking for a duplicity means deceitfulness; double-dealing. Love the video. Thanks. BTW I have a JPK 39 FC which is a similar size.
Want to review a C&C 29mk2, Scott? Has enough headroom for you and would appeal to the great lakes crowd.
where is it?
How about one on the laser 28, must be one in SoCal.
@@SailingAnarchyUSA Vancouver. When you can get over the "Cheese Curtain" you can check out the C&Cs, Haida's, Laser's, CS's, Abbott's, Olson's, Ross', etc. We have up here. Some of the guys on SA forums would probably welcome you onto their PHRF "sleds". If you want to race on a PHRF 200 5ktsb you can take the wheel on my C&C. SOAR is a good time.
What is the opening song on this video. It gets you fired up!
Very gangsta with the nwa hat. Wonder what she'd rate on IRC.
Olson 29 or Olson 30 please
Nice 29 in Monterey Bay
Reverse sheer, R/P first, wrong! Laurent Giles waaay back in the day. Carl Schumacher pre-dated R/P with the Express line. Cool boat though the SC 37!
This boat is good execution of a lousy design, at least for a lot of sailing venues. In light to moderate winds, it has so much wetted surface, it is slow as molasses. The sprit is so short, the spinnaker doesn't get out in front of the main. There was one on the Chesapeake for a while, and it was bottom of the fleet in just about every race, and would lose to much older and smaller boats, boat for boat on a regular basis.
i remember sailing on one in san diego when they were brand new and steering you could hear and see way too much water burbling back there. big fat ass drags everywhere in light air, kind of like an ex-gf i once had! It didn't have enough rig either and i just remember saying "uh oh"......
Is this boat enough to cruise open water from Rio Dulce Guatemala (base camp) to the all the Caribean and Gulf of Mexico?
hell yes
How old or what year were they designed ?
It’s an insult that “Santa Cruz “ is part of the name when they weren’t built in the county of Santa Cruz. I had a hand in the last ULDB’s built there . Boat Builder - ROSS W
Se parece mucho a un mastrachio que se fabrican en argentina
That transom is soooo wide it makes Scott look skinny. Lol. (Note: that joke would work a lot better if Scott was fat). Thanks for this- don't see much of these on the east coast.
Difference Between Engine and Motor The real difference is the fact that "motors" run on electricity, while "engines" run on combustion.
Do not ever mess with a Santa Cruise those boats are Fast asF
Those wheels are somewhat pretentious for what the boat is.
