About the Cc 40 2

Designed as a performance-oriented cruiser, this 40-foot sailboat represents a thoughtful evolution in coastal cruising yacht design. With limited specifications publicly available, the Cc 40 2 appears to be part of a smaller production run or custom series, making detailed information somewhat scarce among sailing enthusiasts and boat researchers. Based on its designation and class, this vessel likely emphasizes a balance between comfortable cruising accommodations and respectable sailing performance. The "2" suffix suggests this may be an updated or second iteration of an original design, potentially incorporating refinements based on owner feedback and evolving sailing preferences. Given its 40-foot length, this sailboat would be well-suited for coastal cruising and extended passages, offering sufficient space for a small crew while remaining manageable for a couple. The limited availability of specifications often indicates either a boutique builder or a design that didn't achieve widespread market penetration, which can sometimes translate to unique design characteristics or specialized construction methods. For prospective buyers researching this model, connecting with existing owners or specialized brokers familiar with the builder would be essential for gathering comprehensive performance data and maintenance histories.

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
18.05
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
26.32
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
1.97
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. 7.52
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
