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

Some of your pictures show the Stack Pack, but in the racing pictures it's not 
there.  Is the pack easily removable for racing? I have a loose footed main.

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

 Once you get the boat, if it doesn’t already have one, I would suggest 
installing a “Stack Pack” system for the main (Pic1

 as, without one, getting the main up or down, especially in a breeze, can be a 
multi-person job between the flaking and sail ties (Pic

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

 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.

Seriously, it’s such an amazing boat that, even after 25 years, the designer 
can’t help but stare (Pic
