Hull

Both the hull and the deck is made of hand laid fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of hand laid fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The hull is a double hull which improves the indoor climate. Especially when the water is colder than the air in the cabin, then the double hull insulates against cold water and reduce the condense water in the cabin.
The deck is a double deck which improves the indoor climate.

Interior

The interior is like most other boats made of teak.
The boat is equipped with 2 cabins, 5 berths, a galley, toilet facility and 95.0 liter waste water capacity.

Engine

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD22L diesel engine at 50.0 hp (37 kW), which gives a max speed about 7.8 knots.

The transmission is a saildrive.

The fuel tank which is made of stainless steel has a capacity of 240.0 liters (63 US gallons, 52 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

Stability and Safety

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Jutlandic 37 DS is 1.81, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 8.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Jutlandic 37 DS is about 264 kg/cm, alternatively 1479 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 264 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1479 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
