Techniforme Yachting Selection Porto 37 (1989) For sale

Integral aluminium dinghy – Philippe Harlé – Chantier Techniforme - Number 5 of the series
A true long-distance sailing yacht, robust, seaworthy and carefully maintained
Built in aluminium by the Techniforme shipyard to plans by Philippe Harlé, the PORTO 37 is an 11-metre integral dinghy designed for offshore sailing. Renowned for its solidity, its seaworthiness and its particularly functional layouts, it represents a great opportunity for sailors looking for a reliable, autonomous touring sailboat capable of great sailing.
Presented by Voile Magazine in its September 2011 issue as "An adventurer for connoisseurs", the Porto 37 benefits from a proven design, combining the robustness of aluminum, the advantages of the integral dinghy and the recognized know-how of the architect Philippe Harlé.
Its lifting daggerboard allows access to shallow anchorages and to take full advantage of the possibilities offered by coastal sailing areas, while maintaining the qualities of a true offshore sailboat.
A boat that is monitored and regularly improved:

Gradual replacement of several Harken winches in 2019 and 2020, including a genoa furling winch in 2025.
This work testifies to a constant desire to preserve and improve this traditionally built sailboat.
Engine – Perkins Perama 30 hp
The boat is equipped with its original Perkins Perama 30 hp engine, completely rebuilt in 2017.
It has been operating for a total of 2,930 hours since its inception, including only 560 hours since its complete refurbishment in 2017, according to the November 12, 2025 record.
Since this major intervention, the engine has benefited from regular monitoring and numerous maintenance and reliability operations: overhaul of the alternator, cleaning of the heat exchanger, replacement of the engine silentblocks in 2023, then replacement of the starter, exhaust and repair of the electrical harness in 2024.
A continuous engine, with a documented maintenance history, particularly appreciable for a sailboat intended for offshore navigation.
Rigging, sails and navigation equipment:
The rigging underwent a complete overhaul in 2015 by the Atelier Câbles, accompanied by several interventions on the fittings and the Profurl genoa furler.
The wardrobe includes a 2019 Sails Concept mainsail and a 2014 Sails Concept genoa. A 2019 lazy bag makes manoeuvring easier.
The electronic equipment includes Raymarine instrumentation, Garmin VHF, an AIS transponder and an NMEA 2000 network linking the main navigation instruments. The Raymarine wind vane was replaced in 2024.
Range and comfort on board:
The Porto 37 also stands out for its bright interior fittings that are particularly well thought out for life at sea.
Its panoramic roof brings a beautiful light to the saloon, while the two cabins, the numerous storage spaces and the volumes available offer a pleasant setting for long sailing.
The boat also has a Wallas heater, a
