About the Cc 36R

Introduced in 1971 by the renowned C&C Design Team, this 35-footer represents the Canadian builder's commitment to performance-oriented cruising designs that defined an era of sailing. Built with fiberglass construction and featuring a fin keel with transom-hung rudder configuration, the Cc 36R delivers the responsive handling characteristics that made C&C Yachts famous among both racers and serious cruising sailors. With a displacement of 12,700 pounds and substantial ballast of 6,030 pounds, this masthead sloop strikes an appealing balance between stability and performance. The boat's 632 square feet of sail area provides ample power for spirited sailing, while the moderate beam of just over 11 feet contributes to her sleek profile and seaworthy motion. Her 6-foot draft offers good windward ability without limiting access to most cruising destinations. The design exhibits classic C&C DNA with clean lines and practical deck layout suited for both coastal cruising and club racing. Her comfort ratio of 24.75 suggests reasonable motion at sea, while the capsize screening value of 1.92 indicates good stability characteristics for offshore passages. This versatile performer appeals to sailors seeking a boat capable of weekend racing that can also handle extended coastal cruising with confidence.

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
 18.64
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
 47.48
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
 199.83
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
 24.75
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
 1.92
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. 7.40 kn
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. 1,217.30 pounds/inch
