This fast and handsome racer/cruiser from the 1970s is an excellent example of what made C&C Yachts such a successful company.

From the recently resurrected Canadian Sailcraft company, this early 80's racer/cruiser is well built, with a fair turn of speed. Its few shortcomings include a shallow bilge, difficult engine access and marginal stowage.
