About the Cr 371

Swedish builder Cr Yachts produced this well-balanced 38-footer from 1998 to 2007, designed by Carl Beyer to blend performance cruising with family-friendly sailing characteristics. The Cr 371's moderate displacement of 12,787 pounds and substantial ballast ratio create a stable platform that inspires confidence in coastal and offshore conditions. Her fractional sloop rig and fin keel with spade rudder configuration deliver responsive handling while maintaining the forgiving nature that makes her suitable for both experienced sailors and those developing their skills. The sail area to displacement ratio of 20.23 indicates spirited performance in moderate conditions, though she's not a lightweight flyer. With a hull speed of 7.4 knots, the Cr 371 offers respectable passage-making ability. The comfort ratio of 25.92 suggests a motion that favors seaworthiness over speed, while the capsize screening value of 1.82 falls well within accepted ranges for offshore sailing. This Swedish yacht appeals to sailors seeking a dependable cruiser capable of extended coastal voyaging with occasional offshore passages. Her GRP construction and decade-long production run established the Cr 371 as a solid choice in the competitive mid-size cruising market.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 20.23
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 42.24
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 201
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 25.92
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 1.82
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.40 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 1,158.84 pounds/inch
