About the Cc 57

With limited documentation available, the Cc 57 represents one of the more elusive entries in the world of performance sailing yachts. This 57-footer appears to have been designed during an era when builders were pushing the boundaries of size and capability in the cruiser-racer category, though specific details about its origins and production history remain scarce. Based on its naming convention and the typical characteristics of boats from this size range, the Cc 57 was likely intended for serious offshore sailing, combining the comfort needed for extended cruising with the performance attributes demanded by discerning sailors. Vessels of this caliber typically feature robust construction suitable for ocean passages, while maintaining the refined sailing characteristics that make long-distance cruising enjoyable rather than enduring. The relative obscurity of detailed specifications suggests either limited production numbers or a design that predates comprehensive digital documentation. For prospective buyers researching this model, connecting with sailing communities and yacht brokers who specialize in performance cruisers may yield valuable insights from owners or industry professionals familiar with this particular vessel's characteristics and reputation on the water.

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
16.51
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
32.61
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
1.74
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. 10.03
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. 3.0
