The Island Spirit 37 is a cruising catamaran that helped define the South African multihull export market in the late 1990s. Designed by Phil Southwell and launched in 1998 by Fortuna Catamarans, the model was engineered to provide a bridge between nimble sailing performance and the highvolume requirements of the Caribbean charter trade. Its distinctive profile is characterized by a "knuckle" in the hull—a pronounced step above the waterline that allows for a narrow, efficient entry into the water while significantly expanding interior beam for accommodations. The model’s success was cemented by several accolades, including multiple "Top Ten" awards from Sail Magazine, which noted its balance of robust construction and sensible price point.
