The Searunner 37 is a trimaran sailboat designed by Jim Brown in the 1960s.^[1] It is the second largest boat in the Searunner series, the largest being the Searunner 40.

Reception

Jim Brown stayed with Piver's narrow-waisted hulls while introducing the centerboard, center cockpit, and cutter rig. Of the 47 multihulls we spoke outside U.S. waters, 13 were Brown designs. While poor payload capacity and hobby-horsing are owner complaints with the 31 and 37, his 40-footer gets high marks. The Searunner's safety record is outstanding. Its divided accommodation provides the best ventilation of any boat in the tropics.
