Mac, I also have a 1983 C&C 37 and do a lot of single-handed sailing including distances races. I’d be interested to see pictures or learn more about modifications that you’ve made. What type of autohelm do you have?

It was named IMPACT and prior to that it was named FREEDOM SONG. I have named it WORTHY PEARL. I sail it on Lake Ontario out of Etobicoke Yacht Club. Prior to this boat I had a Niagara 26 WAVE WALKER that I sailed for 31 years. My son has taken ownership of it now. I am still getting used to her but I think the boat sails extremely well. I have made a number of changes to the running rigging, having everything coming back to the cockpit. I sail mainly short handed and do a lot of single handed racing. My goal this year is to do the Lake Ontario 300 single handed with spinnaker. The biggest change I am making over the winter is moving the traveler from the cabin top to the cockpit. I found that the mid boom sheeting could not trim the main properly. With a loose footed main, the boom would bend and not tighten the leach. I will let you all know if it works. I will keep the original traveler on the cabin top just in case.
