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).
