The boat's best features Balance, sailkeeping, heavy weather performance.

Other comments I just wanted to give everyone an update. We now have 4800+ hours on the second engine. We replaced the original interior three years ago. The primaries are now Lewmar 48's. The complete steering system was totally replaced four years ago. After winning the Suncoast PHRF Boat of the year two years in a row, we retired the boat from racing. The boat is fine, my knees are not. After 28 years of owning this boat, I will honestly say the love affair is still going strong. All the improvements that I detailed in my original review have held up well. I think that I must be one of the longest tenured original owners of a H37c. I would like to talk to other long term owners. No, the boat is NOT for sale.
