I have standard sail slugs and for a very few $ added a downhaul whichis run to
an unused clutch.
I can pull the main the rest of the way into the stackpack from the cockpit.
Easy peasy...

Tides Marine Strong Track is my recommendation. The sail falls in seconds into
the sail pack. Work with your sail maker to retrofit or build new.

Ed, I also want this stay pack on my 37 ! Is a specific bat car recommended
for main sail i have the old pladtic tees although it works main would not
just drop into stay packed if I let the main halyard go takes a little coaxing,
And I assume the idea is
to be able to do it from the cockpit?
What about reefing with this setup no change right?
Thanks ! and nice Ride !!

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 | Pic
2) 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),
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).
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.
Some additional under-sail (racing) photos (Pic1 | Pic2 | Pic
3 | Pic
4)
Seriously, it’s such an amazing boat that, even after 25 years, the designer
can’t help but stare (Pic)
Feel free to contact me off list should you need any specific info or insights.
All the best,
Edd
