Mark, I've had a 37+ for 11 years now -- great boat. Mine is also the centerboard model (kinda -- long story, but I can fill you in.)
Aside from the usual things, check the centerboard cable status. Yes, the windows are an issue, but not a very difficult fix if you're handy and have access to some good tools. I replaced mine three years ago. The only negative is light-air performance-- but in moderate and heavy air, she is fast and ultra stable -- a real dream. You'll find this list more valuable than a new set of sails. Lots of 37+ owners (as well as XLs and Rs -- and their kid brother, the 34 series). All the best, Edd ------------------------------- Edd M.

My first big boat was a 1974 C&C 27 which I had to 12 years, then upgraded to a 1975 C&C 35 MKII in 1992. After 25 years (come February) on the best boat ever built, I'm looking to upgrade to something a little more cruising, but with C&C performance. Given that requirement, it seems reasonable that I should stick with C&C. I've read through the all the email lists concerning the C&C 37+ and most everything looks positive. The boat I'm looking at is listed in Marco Island and immediately needs hatches and windows. I looked at it over the Thanksgiving holidays, and other that those issues, it seems quite basic; doesn't appear to have been raced hard (i.e. no spin hardware & Dacron sails) and not much in cruising upgrades (i.e. needs windless, davits, etc.). Could be a good platform to start with. For you C&C 37/40+ owners out there, is there any thing I should pay close attention to other than engine condition & standing rigging condition that could bite me.
