The C&C 30 is a series of Canadian and American sailboats, that was first built in 1973.[1][2][3]

The initial models were built by C&C Yachts of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, in Canada.[1] The newest model, the C&C 30 One Design, was built by USWatercraft, LLC under the C&C brand, in Newport, Rhode Island until their entry into receivership in July 2017.[4][5]

Design

The C&C 30 series are all small recreational and racing keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. There have been four boats to carry the C&C 30 designation, each a completely different design.[1][2]

Operational history

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The C&C 30 probably did more than any other boat to establish the 30 foot size range in the minds of many Canadian sailors. Like the C&C 27, it also has to be considered a classic among the production fiberglass boats built in the country. In fact, its appearance and layout is very similar to the C&C 27, just more of everything, including some extra elbow room down below. This is a well built boat with good performance, and it did much to elevate C&C to the status of one of North America's premier sailboat manufacturers during the 1970s and 1980s."[6]
