Richard,
There are a few of us 37+ owners on the list and we're all more than
happy to answer any questions we can.
You could search for 37+, 37XL, 37/40+, 37/40XL, etc. I think
production started in 1989 and ran to 1991 (or 1992). I have a 1990.
As for heavy weather, all I can say about the 37+ is PHENOMENAL. I know
you're not looking to race, but we were in one last year, where it was 25-30
out of the east with major rollers coming in from the Sound. Everyone else was
reducing sail and bearing off. Not us. She will go through chop and heavy air
like none other.
All the best,
Edd
