I have a 1990 34+, but have never seen the stepped transom.

The difference between + and XL versions was in the optional (read more 
expensive) hull layup on the XL (which was the same layup used on the R), which 
used a bit more Kevlar Hybrid Fabric and used Aircraft Grade Pre-Impregnated 
Balsa Core in place of Marine Grade Balsa core, so was lighter and perhaps a 
bit stronger.  It was just another option on the order sheet.

 

Most XLs were also ordered with the taller tapered mast with three spreaders so 
that is the usual way to tell them apart.  The order sheet gives the details if 
you have a copy of the original.  Look for the 'R' Racing layup option to see 
if it is ticked off.  If you are lucky enough to have the Build File all the 
details are in there.

 

In one C&C brochure for the 36 Series from 1994/1995 they say the XL mean 
'eXtra Light'.  The 36 Series is what they called the 34/36 in marketing 
materials after C&C's restructuring in 1993.  The Brochure page is here:

Skip to the last page of the Brochure to compare the Standard Equipment lists 
for the different versions.

I've done some research on this and found the 34/36 could be ordered with any 
combination.  Some plus models were ordered with short rigs and some with two 
spreader rigs and some with three spreader rigs.  There were several keels 
offered, 7' 4", 5' 3" wing, and later a centerboard version.  In '96, Mars 
Metals cast a 6' 3" keel for the boat.  Last I heard Mars lost the molds for 
the wing keel but still have the molds for the 6' 3" and 7' 4" models.  The 
difference between Plus and XL remains a mystery to me as I've seen several 
versions of each.
