The Selection 37 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. The hull is made from solid fiberglass, with Kevlar optional, while the deck is a fibergalss-balsa sandwich. The boat has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig, with a keel-stepped mast, two sets of unswept spreaders and aluminum spars with 1X19 discontinuous stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces {{convert|9980|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|2422|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|6.25|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GM diesel engine of {{convert|18|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|10|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|14|u.s.gal}}.
The design has sleeping accommodation for seven people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, dual straight settees in the main cabin and two aft cabins with double berths. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located to starboard of the companionway. The owner's version also includes a forward main cabin table. Cabin headroom is {{convert|71|in|cm|0|abbr=on}}.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of {{convert|775|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|7.26|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.
