The Sun Odyssey 37.1 and Sun Odyssey 37.2 are a series of French sailboats that were designed by Jacques Fauroux as cruisers and first built in 1994. Both boats use the same hull design.{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sun-odyssey-371-372|title= Sun Odyssey 37.1 / 37.2 sailboat |access-date= 28 January 2023|last= McArthur|first= Bruce|work= sailboatdata.com|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230128170823/https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sun-odyssey-371-372|archive-date= 28 January 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/designer/fauroux-jacques|title= Jacques Fauroux|access-date = 28 January 2023|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2023|archive-url= https://archive.today/20200930161130/https://sailboatdata.com/designer/fauroux-jacques|archive-date= 30 September 2020|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://www.jeanneau.com/en-gb/boats/sailboat/2-sun-odyssey/498-sun-odyssey-37-1/|title= Sun Odyssey 37.1|access-date= 28 January 2023|author= Jeanneau|author-link= Jeanneau|work= jeanneau.com|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230128194656/https://www.jeanneau.com/en-gb/boats/sailboat/2-sun-odyssey/498-sun-odyssey-37-1/|archive-date= 28 January 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://www.jeanneau.com/en/boats/sailboat/2-sun-odyssey/499-sun-odyssey-37-2/|title= Sun Odyssey 37.2|access-date= 28 January 2023|author= Jeanneau|author-link= Jeanneau|work= jeanneau.com|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230128194505/https://www.jeanneau.com/en/boats/sailboat/2-sun-odyssey/499-sun-odyssey-37-2/|archive-date= 28 January 2023|url-status= live}}

The Sun Odyssey 37.1 and 37.2 are often confused with Fauroux's similarly-named, but later 1998 Sun Odyssey 37 design.{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sun-odyssey-37-jeanneau|title= Sun Odyssey 37 (Jeanneau) sailboat |access-date= 28 January 2023|last= McArthur|first= Bruce|work= sailboatdata.com|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230125202222/https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sun-odyssey-37-jeanneau|archive-date= 25 January 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/jeanneau/sun-odyssey-37|title= Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37|access-date= 28 January 2023|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230125202101/https://sailboat.guide/jeanneau/sun-odyssey-37|archive-date= 25 January 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://www.jeanneau.com/en/boats/sailboat/2-sun-odyssey/477-sun-odyssey-37/|title= Sun Odyssey 37|access-date= 28 January 2023|author= Jeanneau|author-link= Jeanneau|work= jeanneau.com|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230125202052/https://www.jeanneau.com/en/boats/sailboat/2-sun-odyssey/477-sun-odyssey-37/|archive-date= 25 January 2023|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/used_sailboats/jeanneau-sun-odyssey-37|title= Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37|access-date= 28 January 2023|last= Nicholson|first= Darrell |work= Practical Sailor|date= 20 July 2000|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230125234326/https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/used_sailboats/jeanneau-sun-odyssey-37|archive-date= 25 January 2023|url-status= live}}

Production

The Sun Odyssey 37.1 was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1994 to 1996, while the Sun Odyssey 37.2 was built from 1996 to 1998. Both are now out of production.{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/jeanneau-fra|title = Jeanneau (FRA)|access-date = 28 January 2023|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20230104184016/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/jeanneau-fra|archive-date= 4 January 2023|url-status= live}}

Design

The Sun Odyssey 37.1 and 37.2 are recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They have masthead sloop rigs, raked stems, reverse transoms, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal-draft keel. The fin keel model displaces {{convert|13228|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|4299|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast, while the shoal keel version carries {{convert|4784|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.

The boats have drafts of {{convert|6.14|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel and {{convert|4.83|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boats are fitted with a diesel engine of {{convert|27|or|50|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|37|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|95|u.s.gal}}.

The designs both have sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee and a straight settee on the starboard side of the main cabin and two aft cabins with a double berth in each. The galley is located on the port side, amidships. The galley has a straight configuration and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is located aft, on the starboard side. There are two heads, one in the bow cabin on the starboard and one on the port side, aft cabin.

The Sun Odyssey 37.2 has a PHRF handicap of 138 to 153.{{cite web|url= https://www.ussailing.org/competition/offshore/phrf/phrf-handicaps/|title= PHRF Handicaps|access-date= 28 January 2023|author= US Sailing|author-link= US Sailing|work= ussailing.org|year= 2022}}
