Your Sailing Experience:
Approximately 20 years sailing various boats on the Chesapeake Bay. I started in an 11 footer and somehow that led to the Spider John.

Boat Review:
We enjoy the comfort of the boat, especially when lighter boats are having the bejeesus pounded out of them. Since everyone is probably aware of the sailing performance of the E37, I'll skip that here. I do wish the boat had better access under the cockpit sole - reaching the sea-cocks, etc. is real chore - especially with a genset in place.
