C&C 44
Description
The C&C 44 is a Canadian-designed and built sailboat, crafted by C&C Yachts and designed by Robert W. Ball. Introduced in 1985, it was produced at C&C’s Middletown, Rhode Island plant in the United States, with the prototype built in Canada. Production ceased in 1991, with an estimated 50 units constructed. Available in two versions—Grand Prix and Custom—the C&C 44 is a recreational keelboat made predominantly of fiberglass with wood trim, featuring a masthead sloop rig, raked stem, raised reverse transom, internally mounted spade-type rudder, and a fixed fin keel or optional centerboard. The Custom version, built by C&C’s Custom Division, incorporates more exotic materials and a race-oriented design, including a slightly longer keel and simpler interior.

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.
