About the C&C 37-2
First introduced in 1988, this second version of the C&C 37 (by Rob Ball) is a completely different design and is also known as the C&C 37/40 of which there are multitude of different rig and keel combinations. It is thought that nearly 100 of this type were built before the Canadian plant closed in 1994. C&C 37/40+ Wing - draft = 5.92'/1.8m. C&C 37/40+ Keel/CB - draft (BU) 4.92'/1.5m'; (BD) 7.0'/2.13m. C&C 37/40XL deeper keel no bulb. C&C 37/40R very deep draft (8.16'/2.39m) no bulb. (lighter, more race oriented interior) Thanks for Ken Heaton among others for providing numerous corrections.
The C&C 37-2 is a classic cruising sloop designed by C&C/Robert Ball and built by C&C Yachts from 1988–1997. While the exact hulls built count is unknown, this model represents a significant portion of C&C's late-era production, known for its robust construction and traditional layout.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and couples seeking a comfortable, stable platform with ample interior volume, rather than high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 16000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.0, the C&C 37-2 offers solid offshore stability and seaworthiness for protected coastal passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 40 and O'Day 38, which share similar displacement and beam dimensions, offering a balance of cruising comfort and manageable sail area.
