Since the 1940s, the Rybinsk Shipyard has built a large number of Admiral-type boats. Many have come to appreciate this small yet fast vessel for its excellent seakeeping abilities and classic design. However, by modern standards, the lack of leisure space and comfort prevented the boat from securing a prominent spot among the most prestigious vessels for recreation and travel.

Following the principle that "everything old is new again," the Sea Tech company converted the Admiral boat into a high-comfort vessel—Project 371M (2002).

The designers were tasked with maintaining the traditionally superior seakeeping qualities of the original project, while preserving its retro style and providing modern living standards.

Extensive development led to a new project that fits perfectly within the silhouette of the original boat, yet offers enhanced consumer features through innovative solutions. By installing a Volvo Penta diesel engine, internal volumes were optimized to comfortably accommodate up to four people. The vessel’s superstructure is crafted from fine wood. The stylish new superstructure, combined with the classic hull, creates a memorable and harmonious retro look.

The boat complies with the standards of the Russian River Register.

Visitors to the Posidonia 2002 (Greece) and Moscow Boat Show 2003 exhibitions highly praised the project's originality. The primary demand for this boat has come from both Russian maritime enthusiasts and international businessmen from the UK, Germany, Latvia, and the Netherlands.

We offer design packages and CNC cutting files (kits) for the DIY construction of the 371M project.
