BOAT OVERVIEW
Designed by Ker Yacht Design and built by Vision Yachts, Cowes in 2006, the Ker 37 ‘Car Gods’ (previously known as “Jump Juice”) has been a consistent winner and is available now for a new owner to take the reins of this exciting, fun to sail with a guaranteed smile, one-off racer.
Built with a High Modulus Carbon Fibre mast and boom with mast jack for optimal tuning. She benefits from both symmetric and asymmetric spinnaker set-ups, allowing you to maintain great performance in any wind condition. Included in the sale is a full North Sails wardrobe.
A regular winner on the IRC race circuit, coming 1st in class in the Royal Cork Autumn series, Cork week, UK IRC nationals and the Scottish series. With a great racing pedigree, she has previously been a winner of the RORC ‘prix d’élégance’ and is designed with sleek decks and a modern hull profile.
The boat was refitted by Alpha Plus, Cowes in 2016, including repainting of the hull and upgrades of the electrics and instruments. With a fully fitted interior including 2 double cabins, saloon berths and separate heads she is equipped for offshore racing or longer passages.
Race trailer and cradle are available separately by negotiation.
‘Car Gods’ presents a superb opportunity to get out on the water in a proven winner, well-maintained with only 2 owners from new!
Currently ashore in North Wales, with a full Nautix T-speed antifoul application fresh for the 2025 season. EU VAT paid status is possible. Available to view by appointment with Sea Ventures.
