About the Cc 35 2

C&C Yachts produced this 35-foot sloop during a brief but notable three-year run from 1973 to 1975, representing the Canadian builder's commitment to performance-oriented sailing. With its fin keel and spade rudder configuration, the Cc 35 2 embodies the racing-influenced design philosophy that made C&C famous during the 1970s. The boat's specifications reveal a well-balanced design suited for both spirited sailing and comfortable cruising. At 13,800 pounds displacement with 5,620 pounds of ballast, she carries enough weight for stability while maintaining the performance characteristics C&C was known for. The masthead sloop rig with 629 square feet of sail area provides ample power for coastal cruising and club racing. Her comfort ratio of 29.02 indicates a moderately stiff motion that favors performance over ultimate comfort, while the capsize screening formula of 1.76 suggests good stability for coastal and near-offshore sailing. The hull's waterline length of 30.25 feet enables a theoretical hull speed of 7.37 knots, making her capable of respectable passages. This fiberglass design represents solid construction from C&C's productive era, offering sailors a blend of performance and practicality ideal for weekend cruising, coastal exploration, and occasional racing.

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
17.56
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
40.72
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
222.56
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
29.02
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
1.76
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. 7.37 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
2.51
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. 1,141.39 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. 17.56
