About the Landfall 43 Cc

With limited specifications available, the Landfall 43 Cc remains somewhat enigmatic in the sailing world, though its designation suggests a center cockpit configuration on a substantial 43-foot platform. Landfall Marine built a reputation for producing solid, well-constructed cruising sailboats during their operational years, typically favoring traditional design philosophies over cutting-edge performance features. The center cockpit layout implied by the "Cc" designation would have provided excellent separation between the navigation and living spaces, making this boat particularly appealing to serious cruising couples or small families planning extended passages. This configuration typically offers enhanced privacy with separate sleeping quarters fore and aft, along with better protection for the helm station. Given Landfall's general design approach and the boat's size, the 43 Cc likely featured a robust construction suitable for coastal cruising and potentially offshore passages. The builder's emphasis on seaworthiness over pure speed would have made this model attractive to sailors prioritizing comfort and safety during long-distance cruising rather than racing performance. While detailed specifications remain scarce, the boat's pedigree suggests a reliable platform for serious cruising endeavors.

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
14.64
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
35.38
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. 7.86
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
