I have a '34' centerboard version, which was an option in the early 90s on the 34 series (including the +, the XL and the R).
I think the board design was adopted or copied from the 37 which was an earlier model but not available new in 1993 (or was out of my price range) one or the other! During the build time of my 34 (between 1993 and 1995), C&C changed the name to the 36 (including the +, XL and R) which was identical in hull form AFAIK but now had the transom steps. This added confusion but was more consistent with the actual LOA of the boat, which is actually 35.5 feet. This version of the boat rates 120 in our local PHRF fleet and displaces 13,500 lbs by a load cell measurement. I think the R version rates down in the 80s and is claimed to displace ~ 10,000 lbs. Same hull shape, few if any cruising amenities and a deep fin keel of about 7.5 ft. Except at a few coastal marinas, this kind of draft would require it be kept on a mooring just about anywhere in the 'inner banks' of NC.

As always people customized them so there are variants on the market. I believe the 34+ was the same although I don't recall ever seeing a centerboard version.

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.
