The C&C 29-2, also called the C&C 29 Mark II, is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian as a Midget Ocean Racing Club racer-cruiser and first built in 1983. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Contents

The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the C&C 29, but is now usually referred to as the C&C 29-2 or Mark II to differentiate it from the unrelated 1977 C&C 29 design. [1] [4] [8] [9]

Production

The design was built by C&C Yachts in Canada and the United States, from 1983 until 1986. About 400 were built, but it is now out of production. [1] [4] [10] [11]

The C&C 29-2 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,700 lb (3,039 kg) and carries 2,700 lb (1,225 kg) of lead ballast. [1] [4]

The boat has a draft of 5.30 ft (1.62 m) with the standard keel and 4.0 ft (1.2 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. [1] [4]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GMF diesel engine for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 32 U.S. gallons (120 L; 27 imp gal). [1] [4]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a large single quarter berth, a settee berth and a double berth located where the table folds, all in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, a top-loading ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. The design has a bow anchor locker. [1] [4] [7]

Ventilation is provided by two hatches and a vent, plus there are four fixed port lights. [7]

The fin keel version has a PHRF racing average handicap of 174 with a high of 188 and low of 171, while the shoal draft version has a PHRF racing average handicap of 177 with a high of 186 and low of 171. Both have hull speeds of 6.33 kn (11.72 km/h). [2] [3] [7] [4]

Operational history

C&C 29 Mark II

In a review of the Mark II model, Michael McGoldrick wrote, "This C&C 29 which was introduced in the early 1980s should not be confused with the much larger 29 foot model of the 1970s. This boat has an overall length of 28" 6", so it would have to be described as a slightly smallish 29 footer. It was marketed as the successor to the C&C 27 of the 1970s (which was really a 28 footer). While the C&C 29 has a comfortable and attractive interior which includes a quarter berth, it was conceived as a serious club racer that would have a favourable rating under the MORC measurement rule (Midget Ocean Racing Club). It is a good looking 29 footer that comes with a T-shaped cockpit." [12]

In a 2004 review Darrell Nicholson wrote in Practical Sailor, "the MK II version relies more on ballast than shape when it comes to stability. Though her lead fin weighs the same 2,700 lbs. as her predecessor’s, it's thicker, straighter, and attached to a deeper stub. In addition to a ballast/displacement ratio improved from 36 to 40 percent, the new boat thus has a decidedly lower center of gravity. Though she is narrower (9' 5" beam vs. 10' 4") the MK II offers effective form stability due to relatively hard bilges that are carried well fore and aft of her midpoint. U-shaped sections in her forefoot, smooth waterlines, and a "skeg/bustle leading into the rudder also give her an underbody that helps to smooth out the "crankiness" that characterized the MK I's performance in a breeze." [13]
