Designed by the legendary Bruce King during the late 1960s, the Islander 37 represents a pivotal moment in the transition from traditional wood-inspired aesthetics to modern fiberglass performance. Built by the Wayfarer Yacht Corporation (which later became Islander Yachts), the 37 was conceived as a "light-displacement" racer-cruiser by the standards of its day, though by modern standards, it fits firmly into the moderate-displacement category. It is often overshadowed by its younger, more numerous sibling, the Alan Gurney-designed Islander 36, yet the 37 remains a favorite for traditionalists who prefer Bruce King’s distinctive eye for elegant overhangs and classic sheer lines.
