Built during the mid-1970s golden era of Canadian yacht design, this substantial 48-footer represents C&C Yachts at their peak of blending performance with offshore capability. The C&C Design Team created a yacht that strikes an impressive balance between racing pedigree and cruising comfort, evident in her moderate displacement of 28,100 pounds and well-proportioned sail plan of 1,104 square feet. Her fin keel and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling while maintaining the directional stability crucial for extended offshore passages. With a comfort ratio of 31.96, she sits in the sweet spot for serious cruising sailors who don't want to sacrifice performance for comfort. The capsize screening value of 1.8 indicates good offshore seaworthiness, making her suitable for coastal cruising and ocean passages alike. The masthead sloop rig provides versatile sail handling options, while her substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio ensures she'll stand up to her canvas in a blow. Built during C&C's reputation-building years, these yachts are known for solid fiberglass construction and thoughtful design details. Her 8.37-knot hull speed and favorable sail area-to-displacement ratio of 19.19 promise satisfying performance whether racing around the buoys or making passage to distant harbors.
