Introduced in 1984, this 26.5-foot sailboat represents C&C Design Group's approach to creating a versatile coastal cruiser with racing DNA. The Cc 27 Mk V features a modern fin keel configuration with a transom-hung rudder, providing responsive handling and good windward performance characteristics typical of C&C's design philosophy. With a displacement of 4,420 pounds and moderate ballast ratio, this fiberglass sloop strikes a balance between stability and performance. The relatively low comfort ratio of 14.67 reflects its sporty nature, making it better suited for day sailing and weekend coastal cruising rather than extended offshore passages. However, the capsize screening formula of 2.26 indicates reasonable stability for coastal waters. The masthead sloop rig carries 342 square feet of sail area, delivering a sail area-to-displacement ratio of 20.37 that provides lively performance in moderate conditions. The hull's 23-foot waterline length generates a theoretical hull speed of 6.43 knots, making it competitive in club racing while remaining manageable for recreational sailors. Built by C&C Yachts, this model appeals to sailors seeking a boat that can handle both spirited daysailing and comfortable weekend cruising along protected coastlines, powered by a modest 7.5 horsepower auxiliary engine for reliable harbor maneuvering.
