The Furia 37 is a Spanish sailboat from the early 80s and 90s designed as a cruiser-regatta: fast enough to compete and comfortable for sailing with the family or traveling.
It was designed by Michel Joubert and Bernard Nivelt and built by Dresport. Its design reflects many ideas from the IORS of the time, with a thin fairing, relatively wide stern, elliptical keel and rudder, and a powerful sail plane. At the time, he performed well in cruise regattas and can still be competitive at the club level today.
One of its strengths is its sailing behavior: it is a stable boat, hard to shore, effective in girdling and fast in load-bearing directions. The Regatta version reached about 81 m² of girdled sailing, with a displacement of approximately 8,050 kg, a very sporty combination for a 37-foot boat of that time.
At the same time, the Furia 37 stands out for its more refined interior than many of its French competitors. The usual layout prioritizes space and comfort, with an aft cabin, large bathroom, kitchen, navigation table and convertible living room. Interior carpentry is one of its strengths.
Its main characteristics are: 11.85 m in total length, 3.74 m in width, 2.12 m in draft, 6,050 kg of displacement, 2,350 kg of ballast, 330 liters of water, 125 liters of diesel and engines usually between 23 and 50 hp.
In a sentence: the Furia 37 is a robust, fast and marine sailboat, with regatta DNA but with an interior designed to live and sail for several days.
