The Etap 37s is radically different in its design from the 32s. The 37s, on the contrary, focuses on cruising qualities (although the boat is a little less spacious than many competitors – all because of the same unsinkability). The boat is not the fastest in class, but very comfortable and quiet – the double hull with a filler that gives the buoyancy is an excellent soundproofing. Thermal insulation is also excellent – the crew can forget about the condensation inside the yacht forever. For many yachtsmen, this can become even more important than total buoyancy.
This yacht is partly comparable to Volvo cars – they are not the fastest, not the most elegant, but some of the most reliable and safe.
