About the Cc 50

With limited specifications available, the Cc 50 represents a lesser-documented entry in the 50-foot sailboat category that warrants careful research for prospective buyers. Based on its size designation, this vessel would typically fall into the serious cruising or cruiser-racer segment, offering the substantial interior volume and sail area that characterizes boats in this length range. Sailboats of this size generally excel at extended coastal cruising and limited offshore passages, providing the stability and accommodations needed for comfortable multi-day voyages. The 50-foot length suggests adequate performance potential for club racing while maintaining the creature comforts essential for cruising sailors. Given the limited documentation surrounding this model, potential buyers should conduct thorough due diligence regarding construction quality, design lineage, and parts availability. The scarcity of readily available specifications may indicate either limited production numbers or regional market distribution, factors that could impact both purchase price and ongoing maintenance considerations. For sailors considering the Cc 50, consulting with marine surveyors familiar with the model and connecting with existing owners through sailing forums would provide valuable insights into real-world performance characteristics and long-term ownership experiences before making a purchasing decision.

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
20.68
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
32.32
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
1.85
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. 8.37
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
