Express 37 Polars

Does anyone know where I can find a set of polars for an Express 37? I have searched high and low, canvassed sailmakers, begged and cajoled - all to no avail. I would love a full tuning guide, but this would be a start. Thanks!

Polars for just about any boat with a PHRF rating (I believe) are generally availalbe from US Sailing. Their website: ussailing.org/ lists the designs for which they have polars. They're not free, but if you don't have another E37 nearby to pace yourself against, they'd be a big help.

Actually US sailing only has polars for boats with IMS certificates. I don't know whether anyone has gotten a cert for an Express 37. Great boats though.

Express 37 does appear on the USSailing list of available polars: http://www.ussailing.org/offshore/YachtClasses.pdf Cost is upwards of $250 ; a good bit less than a new jib, but not cheap.
