About the Cc 37 Sailboat

Built by C&C Yachts from 1981 to 1986, this George Cuthbertson design represents the Canadian builder's commitment to performance-oriented cruising sailboats during their golden era. The Cc 37 combines racing-inspired lines with practical cruising accommodations, making it well-suited for both coastal cruising and club racing. The boat's fin keel and spade rudder configuration, paired with a moderate displacement of 14,300 pounds and generous sail area of 670 square feet, delivers responsive handling and solid upwind performance. With a beam of 11.67 feet and waterline length of 28.75 feet, the design strikes a good balance between interior volume and sailing efficiency. The substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio provides reassuring stability for offshore passages. Cuthbertson's design philosophy emphasized seaworthiness without sacrificing speed, evident in the boat's comfortable motion and predictable handling characteristics. The moderate comfort ratio of 26.69 suggests decent motion at sea, while the capsize screening value of 1.93 indicates good stability for coastal and near-offshore sailing. C&C's reputation for solid fiberglass construction and attention to detail makes well-maintained examples attractive to sailors seeking a capable boat for extended cruising or competitive sailing. The Cc 37 remains popular among experienced sailors who appreciate its blend of performance and practicality.
