Hello All, The first C&C 37/40 ever produced was a 37R owned by David Ball. Christened "Fastrack", she lived up to her name, doing very well in her first season of racing in 1988. Starting out on the Atlantic Coast, taking a third in class in June 1988's Audi-Yachting Block Island Race Week, then moving to the Pacific Coast and the 1988 Whidbey Island Race Week where a series of three first place finishes had the fleet footed Fastrack capturing 1st in Division A and earning a second overall for the week long regatta.
For your reading pleasure this morning, I found the following story in the year 2000 Victoria to Maui International YachtRace (Vic-Maui) Program, Pages 10 & 11, online. The Vic-Maui is the longest offshore sailing race off the west coast of North America. It is the pinnacle of Pacific Northwest ocean racing. First contested in 1968, the Vic-Maui runs in even-numbered years, starting in June or July off Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and finishing near Lahaina, Maui, United States, a distance of approximately 2,308 nautical miles (4,274 km). Recent race winners completed the trip in a little over nine days, with an average speed of over 10 knots (19 km/h).
