About the Cc 131

C&C Yachts launched the Cc 131 in 2008 as a performance-oriented cruiser designed by Tim Jackett, representing the Canadian builder's commitment to blending speed with comfort. This 43-footer features a modern fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration, paired with a fractional sloop rig that delivers excellent upwind performance while maintaining manageable sail handling. The boat's moderate displacement of 16,975 pounds and substantial ballast ratio create a stable platform suitable for both coastal cruising and offshore passages. With a comfort ratio of 22.21, the Cc 131 strikes an appealing balance between performance and livability, making it well-suited for serious cruising sailors who don't want to sacrifice speed. The capsize screening formula of 2.02 indicates good stability characteristics for ocean sailing. Notable design elements include the efficient hull form that achieves an 8.18-knot hull speed and generous sail area that produces spirited performance in light to moderate conditions. The fiberglass construction ensures durability, while the 55-horsepower engine provides reliable auxiliary power. This yacht appeals to sailors seeking a capable blue-water cruiser with racing DNA that can handle extended passages while offering comfortable accommodations for cruising couples or families.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 21.57
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 40
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 146.73
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 22.21
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.02
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 8.18 kn
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
 4.05
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 1,724.49 pounds/inch
SA/Displacement (Calc) Calculated Sail Area to Displacement ratio using actual measured sail dimensions rather than reported values. More precise than the reported SA/Disp figure. 21.61
