Alan, The stack is new and those racing photos are from a few years back, but, depending on the stack you buy, it is fully removable if you want to race the boat.
Mine will unzip and slide off in a matter of seconds, plus it can also be lowered and attached to the boom if I don’t want to remove it, but want completely off the sail. Should have done it years ago. All the best, Edd Edd M.

Chuck, While I can’t comment on the winged-keel version specifically, I’ve had my 1990 C&C 37+ for 13 years now (the Enterprise-A was a 1978 C&C 34) and can’t say enough about how wonderful a boat it is. SAILING She’s responsive, points well and can handle heavier wind and chop better than pretty much any other boat in her class. For cruising, I find the 135% jib to be perfect in just about every wind range - never overpowered and can easily hit 7.2 knots (or, as we say on my boat, Warp 7.2) on the jib alone (Pic <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__3.bp.blogspot.com_-2D-5FpUcUZefrfY_UG2byO27YdI_AAAAAAAABlk_VKt3WcYZ9Mw_s1600_Day1Sailing.jpg&d=DwMFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=9w3G7Cf8YfQnrjmtuNxwDJYr3JMv9f1pAfgAJ9xXYQQ&m=dKAkruVGSO5wBUQoOn4R8Q6qbo7cWs2KggnErflJR9c&s=WQmAWS_HPlrmfc8w3cwQoz67lQ8MFnGoLeiHRY7c_xU&e=>).

ACCOMODATIONS She is simply a cruiser’s dream. The biggest complaint I’ve heard about monohulls is that it feels like you’re in a basement. Not true with the 37/40 series. It’s light, airy and very comfortable. The V-berth forward cabin in spacious with LOTS of storage, the main cabin bright, has great ventilation, and between the starboard-side u-shaped seating (Pic <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.dropbox.com_s_spvg3fycdx4191r_IMG-5F0810.JPG-3Fdl-3D0&d=DwMFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=9w3G7Cf8YfQnrjmtuNxwDJYr3JMv9f1pAfgAJ9xXYQQ&m=dKAkruVGSO5wBUQoOn4R8Q6qbo7cWs2KggnErflJR9c&s=c7RH6aomOEuwP2LMJHbjDWikZ3vp4cKVXH5Enhhk3YM&e=>), the port-side bench seating (Pic <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.dropbox.com_s_zz6yi3vt4vi8kkq_IMG-5F0811.JPG-3Fdl-3D0&d=DwMFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=9w3G7Cf8YfQnrjmtuNxwDJYr3JMv9f1pAfgAJ9xXYQQ&m=dKAkruVGSO5wBUQoOn4R8Q6qbo7cWs2KggnErflJR9c&s=8RRdbwhbWfOKLobH8gM8UfCoD1kzgB6lwO7pmXS3-cc&e=>), the nav table and the L-shaped galley, you won’t be bumping into each other. The head is bigger than some cruise-ship bathrooms with a separate enclosed shower stall (with seat too!) and that aft cabin with the centerline island queen bed is just phenomenal (Pic <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__4.bp.blogspot.com_-2DXyGMCtYJiI0_WcP2LVtir0I_AAAAAAAAChg_w3hLq4shrigv5u01cWeoghTnzlOhvt9UgCLcBGAs_s1600_bed.JPG&d=DwMFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=9w3G7Cf8YfQnrjmtuNxwDJYr3JMv9f1pAfgAJ9xXYQQ&m=dKAkruVGSO5wBUQoOn4R8Q6qbo7cWs2KggnErflJR9c&s=Hgs7vtBApfuGpav10LE4xCZxOHBZ50QGu8md3dpiJnw&e=>). She will be the envy of all your friends and, if you’re lucky, you may get a white-bearded C&C 30 MkII owner come aboard and say things like “I f-in hate you” and who tells other C&C’ers “Don’t go back there” when they start inching towards your aft cabin. MAINTENANCE What’s better on a boat than doing projects and customizing? I’m often amazed at how much access there is to wiring and other systems. And engine access is on three-sides (some have added a fourth side hatch in their head) making engine work pretty easy with less blood-covered knuckles.
