Designed by the renowned Canadian firm Cuthbertson & Cassian and built by C&C Yachts in 1971, this 43-footer represents the sophisticated racing-cruiser philosophy that made C&C legendary during sailing's golden era. With only 15 hulls produced, the Cc 43 1 remains a rare find that exemplifies the builder's commitment to performance-oriented design. The yacht's impressive sail area of 901 square feet combined with a SA/Displacement ratio of 18.83 delivers spirited performance under sail, while the substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio of nearly 47% provides reassuring stability. Her fin keel with spade rudder configuration offers excellent maneuverability and upwind performance, hallmarks of C&C's racing heritage. The comfortable 29.36 comfort ratio and robust construction suggest this boat bridges the gap between serious racing and extended cruising. Her moderate displacement of 21,314 pounds strikes an appealing balance between speed and seaworthiness, making her suitable for coastal cruising and club racing alike. The capsize screening value of 1.85 indicates good stability characteristics for offshore ventures.
