Same story with the 34+ My guess is they could claim "The Fastest and roomiest 34" Works for me, we regularly embarrass 45 footers either cruising the lake or on the race course.. Just a couple weeks ago a guy in a recently purchased Beneteau 473 unsuccessfully tried to run us down on a windward leg up the lake.. The "Sleeper" factor far outweighs the snob appeal of a bigger number on the badge any day in my book. If that tongue in cheek effect is what C&C was looking for, I think they nailed it..
Surprisingly roomy and really fun boat for sure. :-) -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA :-) Message: 8 Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 09:03:52 -0300 From: Ken Heaton <kenhea...@gmail.com> To: cnc-list <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List 37+ Why?

They even changed the number in the HIN (Hull Id. Number) from 37 to 40 that year. http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/brochures/40foot/40b3pg01.htm Ken H.
