A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat. Here is how this one does in each.

Better the longer it gets. Boats that settle into a groove and hold it gain ground once the course stops turning.

Speed in knots at 20 knots of true wind. Green marks the angles that pay: the closest useful beat and the deepest run worth sailing.
Where it wins and where it pays
Every boat is judged against its own measurements — length, weight, sail area. The quicker those say it should be, the more it has to deliver just to break even. Going fast is not enough: it has to go faster than its own numbers promised.
Reaching and running is where this one pays. A course with long free legs suits it better than a windward-leeward.
Where it gains
Its best ground is cracked off when it blows, where it outruns what it looks like on paper, and by a margin worth having.
Where it pays
It falls short on the beat once it pipes up, giving away time it never gets back. That is a displacement hull working to its designed speed.
Above the line it delivers more than promised and gains on the fleet. Below, it falls short. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.6 kn either way.
At 10 knots this design makes back more than its rating asks on the broad reach.

How they are set up
The range each sail spans across the fleet.
Nearly all carry a folding propeller. A bowsprit is standard across the fleet. Crew weight is declared around 670 kg.
Rigging
M 37 rig and sail dimensions
A M 37 carries 14.00 m of mainsail hoist on a 5.11 m boom, a forestay 14.27 m above the deck and a 5.45 m bowsprit. Typical figures across the 6 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.
Rig
Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 80 to 129 m² depending on bowsprit and set-up. Before ordering a sail, read the figure on your own measurement record rather than the typical one for the design.
