Cf 37 (C&C 37+)
Description
The CF 37 (also known as the C&C 37+ in some markets) is a high-performance cruiser-racer designed by Robert Ball of C&C Design and built by C&C Yachts (Canada) from 1989 to 1992. This 37 ft sloop was introduced as a modern evolution of the iconic C&C 37 and C&C 40, blending IOR-era speed with cruising comfort for the post-IOR IMS racing scene. With its light displacement, tall fractional rig, and bulb keel, the CF 37 excels in light-to-moderate winds, offering planning performance on reaches while providing a spacious, well-appointed interior. Approximately 50–60 hulls were produced before C&C's 1990s restructuring, making it a rare and sought-after classic. It remains competitive in PHRF fleets and popular for coastal cruising in the Great Lakes and East Coast.
