The C&C 29 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian as an International Offshore Rule Half Ton class racer-cruiser and first built in 1977. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

The design was likely derived from the C&C 1/2 Ton of 1975. [5]

The boat was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the C&C 29, but is now sometimes referred to as the C&C 29-1 or C&C 29 Mark I, to differentiate it from the unrelated 1983 C&C 29-2 design which was also sold under the name C&C 29. [1] [4] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Production

The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, between 1977 and 1981, with some built in the US as well at their Rhode Island plant. Over 600 boats were completed, but the design is now out of production. [1] [4] [10] [11] [12]

The C&C 29 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel or shoal draft keel. [1] [4]

It has a length overall of 29.58 ft (9.0 m), a waterline length of 23.58 ft (7.2 m), displaces 7,500 lb (3,402 kg) and carries 2,700 lb (1,225 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the standard keel and 4.0 ft (1.2 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine of 30 hp (22 kW). The fuel tank holds 13 U.S. gallons (49 L; 11 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal). [1] [2] [4]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin. [1] [4]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 177 with a high of 191 and low of 172. It has a hull speed of 6.51 kn (12.06 km/h). [1] [2] [4] [13]

Operational history

In a 2004 in Practical Sailor review Darrell Nicholson quoted C&C sales manager Hank Evans, who said, "while the 29 was a great success (over 600 sold) with many one- design fleets, and is a pretty good-looking boat, it left a lot to be desired from a design standpoint. It was very fast and nicely balanced in light and moderate air, but the only way to sail her in a breeze is to ease the traveler all the way down and carry the main almost fully aback. Racer/cruisers are not generally intended to be sailed like dinghies." [12]
