After graduating with a Masters degree in Engineering, Steve Milan bought a Sunflower and kept it in his living room. Since then he has owned a dozen boats, in the Chesapeake, Lake Pontchartrain, the Gulf, and the NC coast. His largest boat was a C&C Landfall 38. The most famous is a Raider Cherubini 33, hull #1. After retiring from a colorful career, he formed a nonprofit dedicated to restoring old sailboats.

C&C 40 Used Boat Review

While C&C did not invent the racer/cruiser, the Canadian-based company has remained dedicated for two decades to the concept of the dual-purpose boat. With the notable exception of a few pure cruisers-the relatively low-performance Landfall 35, 42, 43, and 48-a racer-based cruising boat (the Landfall 38), and a real oddball (the Mega 30), most C&Cs have paid at least lip service to contemporary trends in racing boats.
