The C&C 37/40 XL is the ideal blend of performance sailing and cruising comfort a true racer/cruiser with the rare Kevlar-reinforced hull layup and the sought-after XL performance rig paired with a practical cruising interior.

This boat has been thoughtfully upgraded over the past 10 years with reliability, offshore capability, and short-handed sailing in mind. Designed to be easily handled by a couple while still delivering exhilarating sailing performance, she is equally at home cruising the Chesapeake, making offshore passages, or lining up for club racing.
