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]

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 small 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]

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."[6]

Variants

C&C 40 Crusader
This model was designed by C&C Design, introduced in 1968 and built until 1971 at Belleville Marine Yards, which became part of C&C Yachts during the production run.

C&C 40-1
This model was based upon the C&C 40 Crusader, but with the rudder moved to the long keel and a small bowsprit added. It was designed by C&C Design and introduced in 1970.

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.

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][16][17]
