The Peterson 37, engineered by the legendary naval architect Doug Peterson and executed by the master craftsmen of Wiggers Custom Yachts Ltd. in Ontario, Canada, represents a highwater mark of the International Offshore Rule (IOR) design era. Originally launched in 1981, this semicustom racercruiser was conceived during a golden age of performance sailing. While Peterson’s hull lines remained uncompromised in their pursuit of competitive speed, the builders at Wiggers elevated the vessel into something far more sophisticated than a strippedout racing shell. With only an estimated 10 to 20 hulls completed—most notably documented as a highly exclusive run of approximately 14 custom units—the Peterson 37 was built for discerning yachtsmen who demanded both structural longevity and highvelocity offshore performance. It stands out from the massproduced European and American production boats of its era due to its Dutchinfluenced master cabinetry and exceptionally robust, semicustom glasswork.
