The boat itself is innovative and elegant in a thoughtfully simple way. One set of three sails for all conditions, a rig designed to trim and go, only essential instruments. And yet, remarkable performance in all conditions.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">But the IC37 is more than just a new boat. It is an innovative amateur one-design class designed to race with a crew of family and friends. Men and women. Young and not so young. Sailors who race for the love and joy of the sport.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And all making possible what many sailors seek: the opportunity to test their preparation, skill, and teamwork on the most level playing field available. Which is why the IC37 is the boat of choice for the Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup and the Canada\u2019s Cup.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The racing is fast, fun, furious \u2014 and most of all, joyful.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:gallery {\"ids\":[2950,2951,2952],\"linkTo\":\"none\"}
