The C&C 34/36 is a Canadian sailboat series, designed by Robert Ball and first built in 1989. Ball was the chief designer for C&C Yachts between 1969 and 1991.[6][7]

The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production. When it was originally introduced it was called the C&C 34, but it replaced the 1977-vintage C&C 34 in production.[6][8][9]

Design

The C&C 34/36 series are all a small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They all have masthead sloop rigs, reverse transoms and internally-mounted spade-type rudders. The line was introduced in 1989.[6]

The series includes the "+" version, which is a club racer-cruiser, the "R" version, which is a deep keel racing model and a later "XL" model, which combined the performance of the "R" with a cruising interior. There was also the option of a wing keel.[6]

Operational history

In a review of the 34+, Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The C&C 34+ has a brash look which suggests that it was meant to go very fast. For its size, it is a relatively light boat, and it's hard to miss the aggressive looking elliptical-shaped keel. In fact, C&C literature on this boat implies that it was designed as an out-and-out racer, which seems to be confirmed by the fact that it was available as a stripped-down racer (the so-called "R" version of this boat). The 34+ version is a racing/cruising model, but most people would still consider it to be heavily slanted towards racing. The interior of this version comes with athwartship aft cabin, an aft head, a contoured dinette/settee, and a navigation station. There is also a "XL" version of this boat which consists of the racing model with a few amenities thrown in below to make the interior a little more livable."[10]
