The C&C 40 is a series of Canadian sailboats, that were all designed by C&C Design and first built in 1968. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

Production

The series were all built by C&C Yachts in Canada, but all models are now all out of production. [1] [4]

Design

The C&C 40 series are all recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They all have masthead sloop rigs and internally-mounted spade-type rudders. [1]

The C&C 40 Crusader and 40-1 were related designs, although there were many variations produced on the basic designs. The 40-2 and its variants are a completely different design. [3] [5]

This model was designed by Robert W. Ball of C&C Design, introduced in 1978, and at nearly 200 launched, was one of C&C's most successful models. [8] It was an entirely new design from the earlier models, sharing only the C&C 40 name. It has a length overall of 39.58 ft (12.1 m), a waterline length of 31.50 ft (9.6 m), displaces 17,000 lb (7,711 kg) and carries 7,910 lb (3,588 kg) of ballast.

C&C 40-2 AC
This "aft cabin" version of the C&C 40-2 was designed by Robert Ball, of C&C Design and introduced in 1977. It has a length overall of 39.58 ft (12.1 m), a waterline length of 31.50 ft (9.6 m), displaces 17,100 lb (7,756 kg) and carries 7,910 lb (3,588 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 7.00 ft (2.13 m) with the standard keel. The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke diesel engine. The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 93. It has a hull speed of 7.52 kn (13.93 km/h). In creating the aft cockpit the companion way steps were moved forward and the mainsheet traveller relocated from the coach house roof to the bridge deck. Keels available were a deep draft keel, shoal draft keel and a swing keel. There is an aft cabin that features a double berth on the port side. It is connected to the head by a door and the head has a second door to the main cabin. In the main cabin the gallery is located on the port side, with a large navigation station on the starboard side. In the main cabin there is a double berth and a pilot berth, along with a folding table. There is also a double berth in the bow. The design has a "T" cockpit with the wheel on a pedestal and inboard genoa tracks. An anchor locker is located in the bow. [3] [15] [16] [17]

Operational history

In a review of the 40-2 Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The C&C 40 ... is one of the bigger boats made by C&C over the years, and it traces its origins back to the company's experience with a custom 40 foot racing boat. It is supposed to be a responsive boat that has a reputation for being quite fast in light airs. Down below is all the room you would expect from a 40 footer, and later boats featured an aft-cabin." [18]
