Designed and built by the renowned Canadian firm C&C Yachts in 1970, this 39-footer represents the company's early foray into performance-oriented cruising sailboats. The masthead sloop configuration and fin keel with spade rudder arrangement clearly demonstrate C&C's racing heritage, delivering responsive handling characteristics that made the brand famous among competitive sailors. With a displacement of 18,790 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, this fiberglass yacht offers excellent stability for coastal cruising and club racing. The moderate comfort ratio of 34.14 suggests a design that balances performance with reasonable accommodations, while the capsize screening formula of 1.77 indicates good stability margins for offshore ventures in experienced hands. The sail area to displacement ratio of 17.18 provides spirited performance in moderate conditions, though the boat will appreciate a skilled crew to maximize its potential. C&C's reputation for solid construction and thoughtful design details makes this an attractive option for sailors seeking a boat capable of weekend racing and extended coastal cruising. The design represents classic early 1970s thinking about performance cruising, when builders like C&C were pioneering the concept of boats that could race on weekends and cruise comfortably during vacations.
