A 1974 can't be the Northeast 39, but the older model C&C 39 with sweptback shark fin keel and pinched stern of that era. Based on the PHRF for the '74 C&C 39 average of 105 and the '86 41 of 66, I'd predict the 39 is much slower but maybe more comfortable sailing offshore. Their weights are very close at 17000 and 17,500 and may take some wind to get going. The 41 is roomier on deck as well as inside. On deck the crew walk outside the shrouds, and the genoa sets between the shrouds and the lifelines. On the 39, crew have to squeeze inside the shrouds and the genoa sets outside the lifelines.
