The search results provide a good amount of information.
Key findings from search results:
- Designer: Karl-Johan "Kamu" Stråhlmann (confirms builder article).
- Design Philosophy/Goals: Emphasis on performance, sound and attractive construction, good living comfort, and easy handling for shorthanded crews. Kamu Stråhlmann aimed for a quick and fun-to-sail boat without bowing to IMS-driven design changes.
- Production: Started in 2004. (No explicit end year found, which matches the). No mention of significant variations like MkI/MkII.
- Sailing Performance/Handling: Described as delivering top-end speed, good sailing performance, quick and fun to sail/race. Praised for maneuverability due to its fin keel. The deck layout and modern reefing system are designed for easy reefing.
- Interior Layout: Classic teak interior. Attractive interior with more traditional wood furnishings. Two cabins and a saloon, offering 4(+2) berths. Double aft cabin layout options. Equipped with a 140-liter (37 US gallons) water tank. High-quality design, construction, and finish.
- Owner's Perspectives:
- Strengths: High quality, good sailing performance, attractive interior, robust construction. Enduring quality.
- Weaknesses/Common Problems: One forum post mentions "topside paint probs" and implies deck cracks can be an issue on used boats, requiring sealing. However, this isn't specific to the FG37 and could be general for older boats. The primary focus for the FG37 is overwhelmingly positive on quality and performance.
Ratios confirmed:
- SA/D: ~18.98 (Good light-air performance)
- B/D: ~0.346 (Solid stability)
- D/L: ~181.16 (Moderately light to medium displacement performance cruiser)
