I have also heard rumors of delamination issues with the Kevlar hull on
37+/40's. While this seems to be a remote potential issue, it's worth
checking too.

I?ve heard of one person on the list who had a problem.
I?ve had the Enterprise for 11 years now and don?t see any signs of wear,
and I have hydraulics, as well as used to race the boat pretty hard at times.
All the best,

There is an access hatch behind the headliner in the main stateroom that
you can crawl through. I have heard similar concerns. I suspect it is
mostly from boats with hydraulic backstay adjustments that have been raced
hard.
Not sure if anyone on this list has had a problem. I haven't, but my boat
is a total cream puff cruiser that has never been raced and does not have
adjustable back stays.

Hello all,
We are interested in the C&C 37/40s, and saw a comment that the backstay
attachments should be closely inspected.? Can anyone advise how to get to
the backside of the backstay attachments?? It seemed (albeit based on a
brief check), that accessing them from the cockpit lockers would be
difficult, and I did not see an access point down below.?
I'm sure I'm just overlooking it...
Also, what is the best way to reinforce these attachments - larger backing
plates??? Anyone here do this, or will a simple inspection do the job with
the idea that reinforcement isn't needed if we aren't over-stressing the rig?
Thanks in advance!?
