Varianta 37 Buyer's Guide
The Varianta 37 on the used market is a 2012-onward Hanse Group cruiser built around the Judel/Vrolijk hull of the Hanse 370/375, reworked into a lighter, faster boat with high-end structural details but a deliberately minimal interior. Shoppers will find a 37-foot 9-inch monohull with a solid glass hull, foam-cored deck, and a deep T-keel—a platform that rewards sailors who want performance bones over factory luxuries.
Layouts on the Used Market
Most boats carry the standard two-cabin, single-head arrangement with a V-berth forward and a drop-leaf saloon table, but some will show the optional third cabin added aft. The head to port has a shower space that is not quite a stall. The in-line galley to starboard is basic: two-burner stove, single sink, and a small fridge, with an option for more refrigerated space that early owners may or may not have taken. Broad aft sections give the boat usable volume below despite the utilitarian finish, so the layout reads as a clean canvas rather than a loaded cruiser.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Buyers should expect a Volvo diesel below the companionway steps, with the 20-horsepower Saildrive standard and a 30-horsepower upgrade sometimes present for those who motor against wind and waves. A Flexofold folding prop appeared on some test and likely brokerage boats as an option. Rig-wise, the standard 109 percent hank-on jib can be replaced by a Harken or Schaefer furler—a sensible cruising upgrade worth looking for—and U.S. boats got tapered Seldén spars with single-line reefing plus a solid vang. A kelp-cutting system was offered for West Coast waters where the T-keel can foul, and an electric propulsion package with a 48-volt battery pack gave a short silent range without a genset on a few sophisticated examples.
What to Inspect
The structural story is reassuring: the solid laminate hull uses a vinylester skin coat to ward off blistering, bulkheads are tabbed on both sides, and a watertight bulkhead sits just aft of the anchor locker vinylester skin coat to ward off blistering. Check the T-keel bolts, described as oversized, and confirm the foam-cored deck has no soft spots given the minimal interior finish. The bare electrical installations and lack of reading lamps mean any added wiring by prior owners should be traced carefully, and the unorganized galley stowage can hide leaks or rot in the plywood joinery.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Shoppers should treat the Varianta 37 as a boat appearing where brokerage cruisers of this type trade. For a buyer, the short checklist is: confirm keel-bolt and bulkhead integrity, verify whether the furling jib and larger fridge were optioned, and budget for interior lighting and stowage upgrades. The boat is a structurally sound, quick hull that asks its owner to finish the creature comforts.
