C&C 37R
Hey all, we have just purchased a 89 C&C 37R. We love our boat and the design layout of her. There are a few changes we need to make to transform her from a racing to a cruising vessel. Does anyone here have any pics, information, or data on the 37R. Thanks!

Re: C&C 37R
Same hull, & much of the same interior as the XL & + models, though the cockpits differ a bit between them. You might start with yachtworld.com & sailboatlistings.com for some pics, & also do some digging around over on Sailing Anarchy Forums. A few folks there are familiar with them, & one guy even added a sugar scoop stern.
Congrats, btw!

Re: C&C 37R
Congrats on the great new boat. As a former C&C owner I can attest that the C&C owners group will be by far your best resource. Lots of amazing and very helpful folks on there.

Re: C&C 37R
I always think it's nice if posters note their home port in their profile, It also helps with more relevant responses on many issues.

Thanks Gord. 2 posts in 5 years, not a very prolific contributor, am I?

Howdy CRUISER77.
The following link is to previous threads in CF that mention the boat model you now have. There are good tips and comments about the boats in those threads. I saw several that should help you with tips about chain plates, core, rigging, handling, etc. Look beyond or deeper than the thread title, as often the comments that are very helpful are not closely related to a thread title.
Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your new boat and cruising too.

Re: C&C 37R
I'm excited for you guys, & am curious as to what keel configuration (& other aspects) she has? Also, where do you plan to sail her?

Hi, sorry about the delay, new name. So the C&C37R has a fin keel. Our max draft is 8'2". We are out of Rhode Island right now but no idea where we are going... time will tell. Lol

Had a C&C 38 with a customs keel, 7.5' draft, based out of Narragansett bay, I sailed the snot out of that boat up and down New England and NY area in all conditions and loved it, it's long gone now but I still miss that boat. C&C tended to make well rounded, good performing boats that still handled challenging conditions well and comfortably. Mine had an inner forestay added, to fly a storm jib, which added much flexibility to the trim options, it's something you might consider, it helped bring the center of balance inward in big wind, it was removable, so it didn't interfere with tacking the large (155%) head sail in normal conditions.
Perfect boat for the area your in, good upwind performance, good seakeeping traits(for a racer cruiser) and a level of comfort and stability most racer cruisers don't offer. Oh, and by the way, I was able to outpoint most J's, which gave me no endless joy. One thing though, due to the inner mounted genoa tracks offwind headsail trim could be inefficient, so I used to carry extra genoa lines with snap shackles and s hooks on the ends, on broad reaching days I clipped them to the toe rail to bring the trim of the headsail out from the center of the boat which made for much better broad reaching sheeting angles. It's worth noting.
