Supporting the preservation and enjoyment of a CCA-era classic.
Built from 1967 to 1988 the Alberg 37 is Carl Alberg’s blue water racer-cruiser design. Built to the Cruising Club of America (CCA) rating rule, she is a timeless beauty and a sea kindly yacht. The solid construction of these yachts, and their excellent sailing abilities, make them a popular choice for sailors looking for both beauty, safety and fun on the water.
The Fleet
Whitby Boat Works built 248 Alberg 37s between 1967 and 1988. Many of these boats are still sailing today - come meet the A37 global fleet.
Maintenance
Although a professional yard can handle your maintenance needs, many A37 owners do much of their own maintenance. This blog serves as a knowledge hub for those looking to preserve and upgrade their A37.
Reporting & Adventures
With decades of sailing under her keel the A37 is no stranger to writers. Here you’ll find links to stories, old and new, about the legendary Alberg 37.
“A nice morning, but a brassy glare gets us worried. By 1130 we have rain and the wind picks up. With a third reef in the main and the genoa rolled back to a number three, we are making seven to eight knots. The boat is awash with breaking seas and spray keeps flying over the boat. My gourmet meal suffers as cutting and cooking have become a lethal exercise.”

Classic Yacht Owner Association
The membership-driven, nonprofit Classic Yacht Owners Association was established in 2015 to encourage fellowship amongst owners within the classic yacht community. Alberg 37s can register as members and race as “modern classics”.
