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