The C&C 37/40 (also known as the C&C 37+) is a racer-cruiser designed by Robert Ball and built by C&C Yachts from 1988 to 1994, with 110 hulls completed. At just under 40 feet LOA, the 37/40 represents C&C's tradition of building fast, well-balanced boats that are equally at home on the racecourse and on a coastal cruise. The masthead sloop rig and fin keel deliver strong upwind performance, while the 12'6" beam provides a roomy interior. C&C's reputation for build quality and the 37/40's competitive PHRF ratings make it a sought-after model in the Great Lakes and Northeast US racing circuits.
