Who she races against
The designs a C&C 37 actually lines up with, most often first. The bar shows how those meetings ended.
Also met, too few times for a figure:
Comet 41 (7 meetings), Sun Fast 3600 (7 meetings), Sun Fast 3200 (7 meetings), Grand Soleil 43 (Maletto) (7 meetings)
Some of the boats it races against
How the C&C 37 has fared against each of them, boat against boat on corrected time. Ordered by how often the two meet, not by who wins.
Speed at every angle
The shape of this design's speed, drawn from the measured fleet. Pick a wind and watch it stretch.
Speed in knots at 20 knots of true wind. Green marks the angles that pay: the closest useful beat and the deepest run worth sailing.

Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 91 to 139 m² depending on bowsprit and set-up. Before ordering a sail, read the figure on your own measurement record rather than the typical one for the design.
