“As our thinking is strictly in terms of a healthy cruising ship designed to fit
the ever-changing mood of the sea, rather than some racing rule, we turned to
the designer Colin Archer type hard-working Norwegian double enders. These types
in their final development had reached a pinnacle of evolutionary design
excellence. They were stout weatherly craft that stayed out and kept working in
the wildest of North Sea conditions. Times have changed dramatically since those
tough, hard days, but there has been very little observable change in the
condition of a windswept sea. First cost and maintenance considerations were
also important factors. With unlimited funds one can accomplish just about
anything, but how many among us are so situated? We finally settled on the size
of our double ender at 37’, with a generous beam of 11’8” and a draft of 6’. She
is a ship of heavy displacement with a nice “S” shape section, an easy turn of
the bilge, and fairly full garboards to allow good fuel and water tankage under
the cabin sole, with an ideal level engine installation. Despite the emphasis on
ocean cruising, the Slocum is not a Spartan single-purpose machine. She was
designed to be equally suited for a gentle summer week-end cruise. Modern sheet
winches, slap reefing, and boomed staysail make her easy to sail short-handed.
All sheet winches can be handled from the cockpit. The fine forward entry and
“drag free” lines unencumbered by separate rudders or other protrusions allow
her to be easily driven under light airs.” Slocum 37 brochure
“Hiraeth” is located in New Orleans at the Municipal Yacht Harbor. She is a
