Design
The Nor'Sea 37 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter rig, a raked stem, a rounded transom, a keel and transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed modified long keel with a cutaway forefoot. It displaces 19,600 lb (8,890 kg) and carries 7,200 lb (3,266 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 5.58 ft (1.70 m) with the standard keel.[1][3]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese 4JH2-E diesel engine of 51 hp (38 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 100 U.S. gallons (380 L; 83 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 170 U.S. gallons (640 L; 140 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for seven people, with a double berth in the bow cabin, a drop-down dinette table in the main cabin, a pilot berth amidships on the port side and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "U"-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the galley on the starboard side.[1][3]
The boat has a hull speed of 7.64 kn (14 km/h).[3]
