1986 Express 37

Charles Schumacher design, Alsberg Brothers construction.

She meets or exceeds 2012 ISAF Offshore Special Regulations.

This vessel has extensive offshore experience, and is ready to take you offshore in speed and safety.

She has completed two Pacific Cup crossings (late 90’s), and one single-hand Pacific Crossing (2012).

Prior to the 2012 crossing, she was completely gone through, with all critical systems checked, updated, or replaced.

This boat has had very little use since 2012, but has continually been well maintained with an “open checkbook” including new standing rigging (summer 2012, after crossing), and new fuel tank (summer 2014).
