The Express 37 has a hand-laid and vacuum-bagged fiberglass hull with balsa core built to ABS and Lloyds standards. The Alsberg Brothers were amongst the first builder of production boat to incorporate vacuum-bagging and vinylester/epoxy resins into their construction techniques, allowing for a more efficient wet-out of the laminate and improved strength/weight.
Designed primarily for ocean racing and cruising, both the deck and cockpit are laid out for most efficient access, maximum control and safety. The designer noted that Alsberg built the boats "as well as any production boat anywhere in the world".

Elan's deck was completely rebuilt in 2017, repairing/replacing all wet core, core-drilled and sealed all thru-holes and fasteners, plus new paint and non-skid. Her topsides were also repainted in 2017 in Awlgrip, and all windows, hatches and portholes were replaced. Additionally, the bulkhead below the cockpit was replaced in 2017 for strength fortification.
The Express 37 is configured for optimal crew comfort while offshore and comfortable cruising accommodations for a couple or small family.
The starboard of the companionway is the galley, with a Force 10 2-burner CNG stove (2012) and oven, storage for utensils and flatware and a preparation area. The sink is centerline, above the engine compartment and aft of the companionway, allowing the chef room to cook while in port and a secure place to whip up a meal while at sea.
To port of the companionway is the nav station, complete with chart table and molded marine plywood seat. There is ample room for chart storage and electronics, and the station is designed for optimal use while navigating while underway.
Aft of the Nav Station and Galley are two large quarterberths that connect underneath the cockpit, making an ideal sea berth. Each quarterberth also has an optional pipeberth with mounts.
The main salon is bright and airy, with settees to port and starboard and a fold down table centerline. The interior was repainted in 2017.
Forward of the main bulk head is the head to starboard, with storage cubbies for personal gear and toiletries and a vanity.
The large V-berth is forward, with hanging locker to port. All berths include cushions.
Dehumidifier included.
