Take a look at the three illustrations linked below: This is the drawing for the 37+ (also known as the 37/40+, and after 1992, the 40+)
http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=5997 Notice the "Beaver Tail" on the bottom of the keel. This is the 7' 3" (or 4") draft keel. Now look at this one. This is the 37XL, (also known as the 37/40XL, and after 1992, the 40XL) http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=5998 Notice it is a bit deeper and has no "Beaver Tail" and has somewhere between 7' 10" to 8' 2" of draft. Finally, the 37R (also known as the 37/40R) http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=2563 Same keel as the XL, more or less. The wing keels were fitted to both the 37+ and XL if you ordered it that way. Same for the Centreboard Keel as far as I know. I have photos online somewhere, I'll have a look. Ken H.
