Designed by Rob Ball and built by C&C Yachts' Custom Shop starting in 1985, this 44-footer represents the Canadian builder's foray into semi-custom performance cruising. The hull stretches 44.17 feet overall with a waterline length of 35.25 feet, creating a sleek profile that hints at the boat's racing heritage while maintaining cruising practicality. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration, combined with a substantial 9,850-pound ballast ratio, delivers the responsive handling C&C was renowned for during this era. With 924 square feet of sail area driving 19,985 pounds of displacement, the boat offers spirited performance under sail, capable of reaching its theoretical hull speed of 7.96 knots. The SA/Displacement ratio of 20.15 confirms this is a boat that will move well in moderate conditions. The comfort ratio of 26.08 and capsize screening formula of 1.96 suggest this yacht strikes a balance between performance and seaworthiness, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and club racing. The Custom Shop pedigree means individual boats may vary in layout and equipment, but all share the solid fiberglass construction and thoughtful design that made C&C a respected name among serious sailors seeking both speed and comfort.
