Unless there is such a thing as a centerboard 37, the 6'7" draft is a killer for many cruising areas. Other than that the 37 is very nice :)

The LF38 usually rates ~140 and the 37+ is ~75. The trouble with low ratings is that you have to be a good enough sailor to sail to them. Every second counts and every mistake can cost you the race. I had my ass handed to me in a friendly race by a Pearson 32. They rated 168. It was mostly a down wind run and they chose a less down wind angle. I doesn't hurt that they have a kevlar sail and hard bottom paint polished to 1000 grit. As for pointing the 37+ can point very high and even power through a pinch. It is easy to accidentally pinch up because the boat doesn't realy talk back very much. The C&C 30, the C&C 34+, the C&C 36+ and the C&C 37+ are all very similar layout and design. The C&C 40 seems to be the predecessor to the 37+ and the C&C 121 is the successor.

I'm looking for a performance cruiser but also want to race. The LF38 looks like a great choice but I'm wondering about how it sails. I read through the archives and see that several of you race....can you give me any insights into how your boats perform? What do they rate in your area and how do they sail to the rating? How well do they point? Any other insights are appreciated.
