37' Irwin 37 Mk III Center Cockpit Ketch Cruisers

Provided Description

The hull of the Irwin 37 is constructed of a solid laminate of various types of fiberglass cloth and polyester resin. Decks are constructed of fiberglass, resin and a balsa wood core. The deck to hull connection consists of overlapping flanges joined with a polyester bedding compound and self-tapping stainless steel screws on 6" to 8" centers. The rigging chain plates are stainless steel webs laminated in place during hull lay-up. By general industry practice, construction of the Irwin 37 would be considered on the light side for a boat of this size.

Clearly the strongest point of the Irwin 37 is its layout, livability and considerable storage offered on a 37' boat. The layout of the 37 generally remained unchanged throughout it's production. There is a spacious aft cabin reached via a port side passageway from the mid-cabin main saloon, a separate galley to starboard and aft of the main saloon and a v-berth stateroom forward. There are two heads one next to the aft stateroom and one between the main saloon and forward stateroom. Both are complete with showers. One minor annoyance is the fact that the icebox is located along the port side of the boat in the passageway between the aft cabin and main saloon. This is quite remote from the galley area. The inconvenience is offset by the large size of the icebox.

What the 37 lacks in construction detail and sailing performance she more than makes up at bedtime and at anchor. Large comfortable berths and spacious cabins make this a very comfortable boat dockside and at anchor. Although not generally recommended for blue water cruising, the Irwin 37 is a lot of boat for the money. If upgraded to current standards for plumbing and electrical systems the Irwin 37 should be suited for coastal and Bay cruising.

Engine will turn but is not currently starting. Masts were redone 6 years ago and the sails are in good shape, the Genoa is stored indoors and is in excellent shape.

Boat was flooded in fresh water. Seller is motivated to sell and wants the boat gone. Bring me an offer.
