Aug 9, 2018

The IC 37 is a new one-design boat that has special significance in Canada, proposed for competition in the next three Canada’s Cup competitions, as we have reported previously. While the production has not met the demand so far, the first boat recently splashed. Here’s a first hand look.

“I really like the concept of this project. It really helps to limit the arms race, not just in terms of money and assets, but also in terms of how much time you have to put into your sailing.” Hear from owner Cory Sertl after her first day on the water.

According to the builder, what makes the Melges IC37 Class stand out is the strict class rules. The rules are intended to keep costs down, support amateur sailing, promote women in the sport and maintain equality of boats over time. It is designed as a modern 37-foot race boat to provide simple, fun, competitive racing exclusively for the Corinthian sailors of the world.

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.
