Built during C&C Yachts' golden era from 1983 to 1986, this Cuthbertson & Cassian-designed 28.5-footer represents the Canadian builder's commitment to performance-oriented sailing. With 400 hulls produced during its four-year run, the C&C 29-2 found favor among sailors seeking a capable coastal cruiser with spirited sailing characteristics. The design showcases classic early-1980s styling with a fin keel and spade rudder configuration that delivers responsive handling and good upwind performance. Her masthead sloop rig and generous sail area of 396 square feet provide excellent light-air performance, while the moderate displacement of 6,700 pounds strikes a balance between stability and speed. The substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio contributes to solid sailing characteristics in varying conditions. This fiberglass construction emphasizes durability and low maintenance, hallmarks of C&C's reputation for quality builds. The boat's dimensions create a roomy cockpit and reasonable interior accommodations for weekend cruising or extended coastal passages. Her hull speed of 6.33 knots and favorable stability ratios make her well-suited for experienced sailors looking for an engaging sailing experience on protected waters and nearshore coastal cruising, though her moderate comfort ratio suggests she's optimized more for performance than extended liveaboard comfort.
