Here's a post from a T37 owner about his trip from California to Maine about hull #373.  Makes me very happy to own Pilgrim...

The Boat.. I used to deliver boats in my younger years and developed an idea that a Tartan had a lot of the things I wanted in a sea boat. After the trip, my respect for this boat is even greater. The hull design and big rudder may not be the fastest, but I could not imagine a more stable, sea-kindly boat. We had a few days of 20-24 knot headwinds with 8-10 ft. waves off the US East Coast--it was not fun, but I would rather be in this boat than any other of a similar size (best would have been a 1000 ft Carnival Ship).
