Jeanneau Selection 37

The Jeanneau Selection 37 is a 37-foot 24-inch (11.35 m) racing keelboat designed by Joubert & Nivelt and built by Jeanneau of France between 1984 and 1991. It is a lightweight, high-performance sailboat that is known for its speed and agility. The Selection 37 has a fractional sloop rig with a keel-stepped mast, two sets of unswept spreaders, and aluminum spars. The hull is made of solid fiberglass, with Kevlar optional, while the deck is a fiberglass-balsa sandwich.

The Selection 37 is a popular choice for both racing and cruising sailors. It is a fast and responsive boat that is easy to handle, even in windy conditions. The interior is comfortable and spacious, with accommodations for up to seven people. The saloon is the heart of the boat, with a large settee, dining table, and galley. There are two forward cabins, each with a double bed, and a single aft cabin. The head is located aft, next to the galley.

The Jeanneau Selection 37 is a fast and agile sailboat. It has a high sail area-to-displacement ratio, which gives it excellent speed and acceleration. The boat is also very stable, even in strong winds. The Selection 37 has a reputation for being a good all-around sailboat that is well-suited for both racing and cruising.

In racing, the Selection 37 has won numerous regattas, including the Fastnet Race and the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. The boat is also a popular choice for offshore cruising. In 1988, a Selection 37 named "L'Esprit Escargot" became the first monohull to complete a solo non-stop circumnavigation of the globe in less than 100 days.
