The Jeanneau Selection 37 is a storied performance cruiser that holds a specialized place in European sailing history. Launched in 1984 and designed by the prolific naval architecture firm Joubert & Nivelt, the Selection 37 was born from a highstakes commission: to serve as the official onedesign boat for the Tour de France à la Voile. This grueling offshore race demanded a vessel that could withstand the diverse conditions of the Atlantic and Mediterranean while remaining fast enough to provide competitive tactical racing. During its production run through the early 1990s, the model became a benchmark for the "racercruiser" hybrid, blending a highaspect fractional rig with a functional, if spartan, interior. According to the Jeanneau official archives, the model successfully balanced its racing pedigree with a production run that appealed to private owners looking for a spirited coastal cruiser.
