Design and Construction

Designed with the characteristic good looking C&C lines, including the famous sheer line of George Cuthbertson, and with overall design credited to the great Rob Ball. This is an enduring, attractive design that offers a good turn of speed.

Fin keel, of lead, is swept back and securely bolted to the hull

A high aspect ratio spade rudder located well aft offers a very responsive helm

The balsa cored deck offers stiffness and light weight. This deck has had some repair work done and few more spots remain to be serviced.

The aluminum spar is keel-stepped and supported with single spreaders and dual (fore and aft) lower shrouds and cap stays. The backstay has a mechanical tension adjustment.

The forestay is a masthead rig, supporting a Selden Furlex roller furler.

Accommodations

Entering through the companionway, we have the quarterberth to port, with a chart table / nav station / home office readily accessible to the cockpit.

The galley is at the foot of the companionway.

The main salon is furnished with two good sized settees on both port and starboard, facing the centerline table with dual drop-down leaves. Lots of room for a big crew meal or party. The port settee has a lee cloth for sleeping under way, and the starboard settee converts to a double berth.

New LED lighting throughout.

Classic tropical hardwood, of the kind no longer available, creates a warm, rich atmosphere. Brass accent pieces add to the charm.

Moving forward, we have a sliding door that encloses the head compartment which includes a marine toilet and washbasin on starboard, with generous storage and hanging locker space on port. The foredeck hatch, with new solar vent, is above providing light and fresh air.
