Horner reviews the thinking behind this design, its construction methods, and its history, including pricing history. He identifies design or construction problems that have been found in older boats. Comments include: "Although not generally recommended for bluewater cruising, the Irwin 37 is a lot of boat for the money. If upgraded to current standards for plumbing and electrical systems the Irwin 37 should be suited for coastal and Bay cruising."
