Gin Fizz 37

The Gin Fizz 37 is a French sailboat that was designed by Michel Joubert of the Joubert-Nivelt design firm, as a cruiser and first built in 1974.

The design was built by Jeanneau and also by Gibert Marine in France, from 1974 until 1981 with 494 boats completed, but it is now out of production. A number were imported into the United States.

The Gin Fizz 37 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optional ketch rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of straight spreaders and aluminum spars with stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed swept fin keel. Both center and aft cockpit models were built. It displaces 15,300 lb (6,940 kg) and carries 5,952 lb (2,700 kg) of iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of 6.20 ft (1.89 m) with the standard keel.

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108 diesel engine of 30 hp (22 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 80 U.S. gallons (300 L; 67 imp gal).

The design has sleeping accommodation for ten people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an U-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin along with two pipe berths and an aft cabin with a double berth. The galley is located on the starboard side at the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower. Cabin maximum headroom is 73 in (185 cm), with the aft cabin headroom 55 in (140 cm).

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 1,184 sq ft (110.0 m2).

The design has a hull speed of 7.34 kn (13.59 km/h).
