Rejoice is a 2000 Pacific Seacraft 37 designed by the legendary naval architect William (Gentleman Bill) Crealock. His focus in design was, in his own words, “to provide the weekender and cruising man with a boat which will travel fast between ports under complete control, and which will yet remind him that the passage itself should be one of the pleasures of the cruise.” It is a tremendously capable offshore sailing yacht which is easily managed by a short-handed crew or solo sailor, perfect for our intended cruising.
