1993 C&C 37/40 XL - Performance Cruiser | Bahamas Ready | Extensive Upgrades
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.
With all lines led aft, upgraded electronics, new standing rigging, solar power, modern sail inventory, and a long list of mechanical improvements, this vessel is genuinely turnkey and Bahamas capable.
And yes - she's fast. Fast enough to quietly sail away from a J/40 on the way to the Annapolis Bay Bridge.
