Speaking of Classic Boats, we have reiterated by now, the relevance of a hull transcends the age of the artifact itself and focuses more on its historical value, its recognized aesthetic, technical and qualitative originality. In short, there are boats and boats, but some inevitably belong to a whole other category. We have selected 100 memorable ones and, coming to this 10th episode, we now look at 5 Classic Boats between 11.25 and 11.28 meters.

5 Classic Boats from 11.25 to 11.28 meters
Two America’s Cup designers, overseas rising stars and true sailing legends. Among these 5 boats, all more or less the same length and belonging to the same decade, we will get a good look at the differences in “school” and approach, moving from hulls that are the offspring of the great racers of the time, such as the “Big Cat” by Vallicelli or the“Ydra” Carter’s, to projects that were born to be excellent cruiser-racer, such as the Ranger 37 or Cuthberson & Cassian’s Baltic.

CHANCE 37
Wauquiez | 11.25 x 3.18 m | 1971 | Britton Chance
Designed by Britton Chance, a major America’s Cup signature, this 37′ is the yard’s answer to the need for a fast cruising boat. It soon becomes a great success, with 95 hulls built. This is a boat for lovers of the classic: long, angular deckhouse and beautiful narrow stern.
V-CAT 38
Artmare | 11.26 x 3.50 m | 1976 | Andrea Vallicelli
It bears the signature of the Italian archistar of the time, Andrea Vallicelli. It was derived from the racing prototype “Gattone” and raced in the One Tonner class. Features sides that, at maximum beam, fall in. Great design of the IOR era.

’70s Classic Boats – RANGER 37
Ranger Yachts | 11.28 x 3.45 m | 1972 | Gary Mull
Not many U.S. shipyards produced mass-produced, fiberglass boats of a certain standard in the 1970s. Among them was Ranger Yachts, which relied in 1972 on rising US design star Gary Mull to build the Ranger 37. Success, 100 examples produced and the prestigious victory in the SORC regattas in Florida.

CARTER 37
Olympic Marine | 11.28 x 3.63 m | 1973 | Dick Carter
A boat with exceptional pedigree, it is descended from the legendary “Ydra,” a one-off with which Straulino won the ’73 One Ton Cup. Adapted to mass production by Carter himself, it is among the earliest examples of the cruiser-racer. The lines are elegant, the deckhouse is harmonious and the stern gorgeous. Iconic project of a man of genius.

Baltic | 11.28 x 3.66 m | 1978 | Cuthberson & Cassian
