Built during the mid-1970s by the renowned Canadian builder C&C Yachts, this 33-footer represents the company's commitment to performance-oriented design during their golden era. With 209 hulls produced between 1974 and 1977, the Cc 33 found a solid following among sailors seeking a capable coastal cruiser with racing pedigree. The boat's fin keel and spade rudder configuration, combined with a moderate displacement of 9,800 pounds and well-balanced sail plan of 502 square feet, delivers responsive handling and respectable performance. Her SA/Displacement ratio of 17.6 indicates spirited sailing ability, while the substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio of 42% provides reassuring stability for coastal cruising and club racing. C&C's fiberglass construction and attention to detail earned the company an excellent reputation during this period, and the Cc 33 benefits from that legacy of quality. The masthead sloop rig keeps sail handling straightforward, making her suitable for couples or small crews. With a comfort ratio of 23.28 and capsize screening value of 1.97, she strikes a nice balance between performance and seaworthiness for Great Lakes sailing, coastal cruising, and spirited daysailing.
