I have had a C&C 37 centerboard model for about ten years. She was built in
1983. We love her. She sails very well and is fast in all conditions. Actually,
she sails so well that I haven't dropped the centerboard in about eight years
and don't miss it at all. We primarily cruise, but we have entered a few races
and have been in the top four places each time. I think she would beat to
windward a little better if I used the centerboard, but I forget it is there.
We have two propane tanks located behind the wheel where the seats open up.
Only one is hooked up. The other is just storage. The propane tanks are 10 lb
tanks. They will just fit through the opening under the seat covers.
My wife tends to get seasick easily so she is at the helm all the time and
loves the way the boat handles. We had a C&C 35 MK1 before the 37 and have
sailed a lot of different C&C's. We think this is the best in every way.
Good luck with yours
Dave " Webfoot"

Thanks, Pete. Two issues with CNG; 1, getting it and 2, apparently you use cng
at a faster rate than LPG.
Nice page. I'm not looking to race this boat, but after seeing your FB page...
Cheers
