Talisman 37
Description
The Talisman 37 is a 37‑foot (11.28 m) motorsailer designed by Alan Wright and built by Marcon Yachts (UK) from 1974 to 1980, with approximately 20–25 hulls produced. Featuring a ketch rig (auxiliary sail), pilothouse, twin diesel engines (Perkins 4.107, ~50 HP each), full keel, heavy steel construction, and liveaboard accommodations with 2 cabins, saloon, galley, head, and 120+ gal fuel, it prioritizes long‑range motoring capability for coastal/offshore cruising over sailing performance.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
