Puma 37
Description
The Puma 37 is a performance-oriented Spanish-built cruising sailboat designed by renowned British naval architect Angus Primrose and constructed by Puma Yachts (Nao-Glass) in Spain beginning in 1981. This 36.02-foot vessel represents Primrose's expertise in creating seaworthy, performance-oriented designs that balance racing capability with cruising comfort. Built with fiberglass construction featuring a fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration and masthead sloop rig, the boat was designed for serious coastal cruising with the ability to handle longer passages comfortably. While exact production numbers remain unclear, the design reflects the early 1980s emphasis on performance cruising yachts that could excel both on the racecourse and during extended offshore adventures.
