Ken, Love your website and your boat. Have to argue your comment. You are right, the 34/36 came after the 37/40, but the C&C 51s were Rob's last designs, completed at the same time as the 34/36s. Having owned a 34R for 10 years and raced against a 34plus and a 37plus, I think the 34plus is a slight improvement over the 37/40. The 34R is the only C&C with a very thin keel with a large heavy bulb, and is very stiff.
I have my 34R setup to singlehand. The 37 would be harder to convert. The sheer appears to be straight on these designs, but it works very well with the wider beam when viewed from a vantage point above the toerail, on when the boats are sailing, and heeled. Olin Stevens once remarked, "Beauty is a fast boat". The 37/40 has the lowest PHRF rating but needs wind. I think the 34/36 is a better overall boat. Nuff said.

The 37+ is the last and best of the Rob Ball C&C's. (Yes Rob did the 34+ just after but the 34+ is just a baby 37+) Oh, and if you have never seen the aft cabin on a 37+ it looks like this: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-012Obd94ATA/T00NoOqd4PI/AAAAAAAABDo/yzYMUFphrBo/w600-h434-no/Nina14.jpg My wife is quite fond of that cabin... The rest of the interior ain't too shabby either: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SGUTt8WmoBs/TMzYnKHI4HI/AAAAAAAAJkg/_m8Hr53wRsk/w958-h719-no/IMG_1779.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aahIPlK4ALA/S3yIdzFKWOI/AAAAAAAAJkg/wKyCXdqfjDU/w958-h660-no/40b3p0203.jpg Need I say more??

When I was boat shopping in 2005, I finally got to step aboard one and I couldn't write the check fast enough. I mean -- just look at this deck plan and accommodation plan -- It doesn't get any better than that! Don't squint or rub your eyes -- you saw it -- that's a walk-around queen-sized berth back there! So, as they say on MTV: Respect, Biotches! (Ok, I don't watch MTV and really don't know what that really means, but I'm ranting here.) Just last night before racing, a big gust came through. Other crews were scrambling to get to the high side as their angle of heel put their rails under water. We were casually sailing along, drinking water, and discussing current events, all while the boat hummed along at 7.2 knots (Warp 7.2). Perfection I tell you -- perfection! And yeah, I was at the Mystic Rendezvous last year and I heard Rob Ball's response saying that to pick a favorite design is like picking your favorite child, but come on, those of you with kids know that it's the older ones that are the most disappointing. You learned from your mistakes and the younger ones are the best. Let's just all admit it and let's move on. This is coming from the first born of the family too. :-) All the best, Edd Edd M.

Is there no love for the 37+? For me the boat has been everything I ever wanted. Looks, performance, build quality, accommodations, and regular pier side compliments. How about some props Edd and Ken? All the support for the 35's really has me intrigued and dying to get acquainted with one.
