The C&C 37/40 R represents the pinnacle of the performancecruising evolution that George Cuthbertson and George Cassian initiated decades prior. Introduced in the late 1980s and designed under the direction of Rob Ball, the 37/40 R (often referred to interchangeably with the 37/40 XL) was built on the successful hull of the C&C 37 Plus but optimized for the IMS (International Measuring System) racing circuit. The "40" designation refers to the extended "sugar scoop" transom, which elongated the effective waterline and improved speed and handling at high heel angles. This model served as a transition point for C&C Yachts, moving away from the IORinfluenced "bustles" of the 1970s toward a more modern, balanced, and slippery hull form. Constructed at a time when the builder was integrating sophisticated materials, the 37/40 R utilized a vacuumbonded balsacored hull and deck, providing the rigidity necessary for serious offshore competition without the weight penalties of traditional solid fiberglass.
