About the Cc 12 Ton Sailboat

Built during C&C Yachts' golden era from 1975 to 1980, this rare 30-footer represents the Canadian builder's commitment to performance-oriented design during the height of the IOR racing era. With only twelve hulls ever produced, the Cc 12 Ton stands as an exclusive example of C&C's racing pedigree translated into a manageable cruiser-racer package. The boat's fin keel and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling characteristics typical of C&C's racing-influenced designs. Her moderate displacement of 6,400 pounds strikes a balance between performance and stability, while the masthead sloop rig provides versatile sail handling options. The hull's proportions suggest good upwind performance, making her well-suited for coastal cruising and club racing. With a comfort ratio of 15.89, this design leans toward the sportier end of the spectrum, appealing to sailors who prioritize sailing performance over interior volume. The SA/Displacement ratio of 18.06 indicates lively performance in moderate conditions, though she'll benefit from skilled crew work in heavy air. Her fiberglass construction ensures durability, while the classic C&C styling maintains timeless appeal for sailors seeking a distinctive, well-bred coastal cruiser with genuine racing credentials.
