C&C 29 Mk I
Description
The C&C 29 is a classic Canadian sailboat designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian (C&C Design) as an International Offshore Rule (IOR) Half Ton class racer-cruiser. Introduced in 1977, it was built by C&C Yachts primarily in Canada, with some production in the US at their Rhode Island plant. Over 600 units were produced until 1981, making it a popular choice for club racing and coastal cruising. It's known for its sleek lines, speed in light to moderate winds, and quality construction, but it has some limitations as a pure cruiser due to its racing heritage. Note that there is a later, unrelated model called the C&C 29-2 (or Mark II, built 1983–1986), which is smaller (28.5 ft LOA) and more tender; this summary focuses on the original 1977 model (often called Mark I).

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
