If I have one main complaint about the Back Cove 37 it is that the master stateroom queen berth forward is very noisy. If you are anchored is so much as a 6” chop the water will slap against the hull and reverberate throughout the stateroom. I have been sleeping at sea since childhood, when we ran far out to sea at night on my father’s commercial fishing boat and I sleep like the dead on a boat in most conditions. However, I spent many hours awake in the Back Cove 37 master berth while little wavelets slapping the hull kept me from sleeping.
I had chartered a 37 before my purchase and I was aware of this problem before I bought my 37. I had the factory install soundproofing to the forward hull before the liner was attached. This did nothing to improve the situation. We eventually ended up solving the problem by either sleeping in the smaller guest stateroom or anchoring stern to, something I never felt completely comfortable doing.
