Used Express 37 Sailboats for Sale

The Express 37 stands as a pinnacle of the mid-1980s West Coast performance sailing scene, representing the most substantial collaboration between the legendary naval architect Carl Schumacher and the Alsberg Brothers Boatworks. Launched in 1984 as a larger, more offshore-capable evolution of the successful Express 27 and 34, the 37 was designed to be a "dual-purpose" yacht—a vessel equally at home on a starting line in San Francisco Bay or navigating the long Pacific swells of a Transpac race. With approximately 65 hulls produced, the boat achieved an almost cult-like status due to its remarkable balance of speed, structural integrity, and predictable handling. It was engineered at a time when the "Ultra Light Displacement Boat" (ULDP) trend was maturing, and Schumacher successfully infused the Express 37 with enough stability and displacement to avoid the "squirrelly" reputation of its lighter contemporaries while maintaining an exhilarating power-to-weight ratio.
