1989 C&C 37/40+

The C&C 37/40+ is a 39-foot fiberglass cruising-oriented sailboat built in 1989, designed by Rob Ball as part of C&C's balanced cruiser-racer line. This particular example embodies the breed's reputation for easily driven hull forms and practical seakeeping. A Universal 35-horsepower diesel engine with a new ZF transmission (2025) provides auxiliary power, paired with a new three-blade fixed propeller and stainless steel drive shaft, also installed in 2025. The rudder was dropped for service in 2023, and the engine shaft packing gland was replaced the same year.

The interior centers on a large L-shaped galley to starboard featuring a Force 10 three-burner stove with oven, generous counter space, a double sink with hot and cold pressure water, and an Adler Barbour refrigerator with integrated freezer. To port sits a full head with separate shower. The main salon opens with a folding-leaf table and U-shaped settee that converts to a double berth. A navigation station with chart table occupies the opposing side, with convertible seating. The forward stateroom provides full privacy with overhead storage, hanging locker, and vanity sink; the centerline aft berth includes a custom memory foam mattress on a ventilated slat system. Interior upholstery was noted as showing in excellent condition.

Recent upgrades include a new steering pedestal and engine controls, a new Raymarine Quantum 2 mast-mounted radar and Axiom 7 touchscreen multifunction display (both 2023), a Standard Horizon GX2400 GPS VHF with AIS receiver, a new Autohelm T70152 autopilot, and a new Raritan water heater with heat exchanger (2024). The head and holding tank were replumbed in 2025. All sail handling leads aft to the cockpit for single-handed operation. Sails include a Doyle mainsail with lazy jacks and stack pack cover, and a Doyle 120% genoa on a Harken furler. Deck hardware includes a Lofrans windlass, dual primary winches, and two 25-pound and 33-pound anchors with appropriate scope. A Walker Bay inflatable dinghy with a Tohatsu four-stroke outboard is included.
