The Sea Bird 37 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Stan Huntingford and Hardin International as a cruiser and first built in 1973.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The design was developed into a motorsailer with a new deck and pilothouse, designated the Sea Bird 37 MS.[5] [6]
The design was built by Cooper Enterprises in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, starting in 1973, but the company went out of business in 1990 and it is now out of production. It was also built by Hardin International in Kaohsiung, Taiwan during their time in business of 1977 - 1988.[1] [2] [7] [8] [9] [10]
The Sea Bird 37 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It was built with a choice of either a ketch or masthead sloop rig and an aft or centre cockpit. The boat has a raked stem, a nearly plumb transom, a/an keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed long keel. It displaces 180000NaN0 and carries 60000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 4feet with the standard long keel.[1] [2]
The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108 diesel engine of 400NaN0 for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [2]
The centre cockpit version has sleeping accommodation for six people, with two single berths in the bow cabin, a drop-down dinette table in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a transverse double berth. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. There are two heads, one in the forepeak, forward of the bow cabin and one on the starboard side in the aft cabin.[1] [2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.64kn.[2]
