Forward Sailing Cockpit
The location of the sailing cockpit makes the M37 Island Hopper a dream to sail.

History
Moxie Yachts was inspired by a slow sail in nasty weather from Newfoundland to Cape Breton Island, whereupon return home the three sailors and multihull enthusiasts collectively decided to bring to the US a sailing vessel that would be both comfortable and performance oriented. Invoking the determined spirit of Phil Weld, a Boston publisher who won the Observer Singlehanded Transatlantic Race in 1980 aboard his trimaran Moxie, they formed Moxie Yachts.
Upon careful consideration of builders, they decided on Jaz Marine, based in Capetown, South Africa, largely due to their technological knowledge. Jaz Marine already had made a name for itself building 40-foot racing monohulls and as the builder of the early Morelli and Melvin-designed 62-foot Gunboats. The M37 was based on a prototype, an opendeck design called the Island Hopper, and modified to the US market, most notably by giving her a wider beam and hard top bimini. The M37 Island Hopper was born, making its debut at the Annapolis show in October 2008 and subsequently becoming the 2009
Cruising World Boat of the Year and SAIL Magazine’s Best Boats of 2009.
Original Price: $325,000 FOB Capetown, South Africa, without sails and instruments.
Construction
Jaz Marine’s experience in high-tech manufacturing translates into a lightweight boat.
The M37 Island Hopper is constructed of E-glass cloth and epoxy resin over a CoreCell foam core. Carbon fiber reinforces areas where additional strength is needed, such as at chain plates. The full structure is built using the resin-infusion method to additionally control weight and strength.
A layer of Kevlar in the outer skin runs from about two feet above DWL at the bows to about five inches above DWL near the transom giving the cat’s bottom resistance to abrasion.
The 45-foot-long rotating wing mast is built of carbon fiber, keeping weight aloft to a minimum and delivering a mast height above the water of 54 feet, 6 inches.
A balance between cruising and performance was carefully crafted. One measure of a well-considered cruising boat is how much it can stand to be loaded down with essentials as well as souvenirs of the voyage and still perform. Designer, Uwe Jaspersen, worked on a payload of 600 pounds per passenger, dependent on how many people are onboard and how far the travel. Jaspersen says. “For a weekend trip, I think most people will struggle to add 600 pounds per person.”
