The C&C 27 is a family of Canadian sailboats, that was designed by Rob Ball and first built in 1970. The design is out of production.[1][2]

Production

The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, with some also produced in the United States.[1]

The design was developed into the Trapper 500 and built in the UK.[1]

An "unauthorized copy" was built in Germany as the Koreneuburg 27 (K 27).[1]

Design

The C&C 27 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa core deck. It has a masthead sloop rig and a fixed fin keel.[1][2]

Operational history

In a review of the Mark V model Michael McGoldrick wrote, "It's a good sailing boat that will appeal to anyone looking for a C&C in the under 30 foot range, and which has a slightly more modern appearance than the models that were built in the 1970s."[3]
