It's a great upgrade, but you have to make sure you're ready for all the
other things involved. New prop shaft: possible, new prop: necessary, new
fuel tank and hoses and...
And will it fit?

Don't forget to tighten the keel bolts to the proper torque. You can find
the specs on the cncphotoalbum site.

The Peterson races with crew. Fully crewed takes something like 8 or 9.
The owner was having difficulty rounding up full crew for every race so he
opted for the sprit and asym to reduce required crew.
There is a limit to the sprit length in my PHRF area. It is marked so he
doesn't exceed it
On my 42 Custom, the non-sprit asym is faster when the wind is forward of 100
degrees or so apparent. It’s perfect for tight reaching in light air. We
don’t do polars to get to a downwind mark, so the big sym chutes are faster
downwind.

Hi Dennis, Your comments match what I expected.
The full size spinnaker has to be the fastest setup for my boat as it has the
largest sail area, but an assym is easier for solo sailing and faster downwind
than sailing with jib and main.
Does Peterson 37 race solo or with crew?

Juliano; welcome aboard; there is a wealth of collective knowledge here and
all of us had to start the learning process as you are doing; so, don't
hesitate to ask and pose questions; many of the people, myself included, had a

Welcome to the list Juliano
I have used both G-Flex and layers of cloth with epoxy for this repair. When I
used G-Flex and then sanded and faired the crack came back in less than two
years. When I ground out and used three layers of 6 oz cloth the problem went
away for good.
This is a
Juliano,
Lots of good advice so far. Many of us have done this same repair.
A few points to emphasize, first, if the washers/plates under the keel bolt
nuts aren't stainless, replace them. Often the smile appears when the
washers deteriorate and the nuts become loose.
Next, torque the keel
I installed a Selden sprit on a Peterson 37 here. No rating penalty out to
a certain length or chute size.
Hasn't seemed to make much of a performance difference for the boat but it
has helped reduce required crew.

Hello All,
I agree with everything that has been mentioned but also you need to check
your keel bolts and washers before you get into epoxy and fairing.

Hi Juliano - welcome and congratulations. Good advice so far and ideally
you can block the keel and lift the boat a bit to get better access to the
gap. You mention you are new to this so forgive the following if it's
something you already know:
You mentioned sanding and you see the replies
Grind it out between the lead keel and the grp hull and clean to bare about
3 inches above and below the gap. Clean the surfaces in between the gap
with acetone. Let dry and apply west system epoxy to the surfaces with a
tooth brush. Then Make an epoxy putty with the same west system and fill

You’ve come to the right place there lots of amazing knowledge in this
group
What area are you in? or where your boat is located?

Congratulations juliano on your boat
That doesn’t look to bad
If you think your boat is too small I might have a 30 foot for you

This is a pretty good guide. Matches Chuck's suggestions for the most part.

A lot of people have reported adding various combinations of layers of
fiberglass.
