The C&C 41 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Robert Ball and first built in 1981.[1][2]

The design was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][3]

Design

The C&C 41 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optionally keel and centreboard. The fixed keel version displaces 17,500 lb (7,938 kg) and carries 8,000 lb (3,629 kg) of lead ballast.[1]

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 7.80 ft (2.38 m), while the centreboard-equipped version has a draft of 8.00 ft (2.44 m) with the centreboard extended and 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with it retracted.[1]

The boat was also produced in "GP" and "Limited Edition" models, both introduced in 1981 as well. The GP has a 1.00 ft (0.30 m) shorter mast and a displacement of 16,800 lb (7,620 kg). Length overall is the same for all models, but the waterline length varies. The C&C 41 has a waterline length of 33.33 ft (10.16 m), while the GP is 33.50 ft (10.21 m) and the Limited Edition is 33.48 ft (10.20 m).[1][4][5]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3HM35F diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 60 U.S. gallons (230 L; 50 imp gal).[1]

The fixed fin keel base design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 108 with a high of 111 and low of 105. It has a hull speed of 7.74 kn (14.33 km/h). The centreboard version has a PHRF racing average handicap of 81 with a high of 90 and low of 78, along with a hull speed of 7.76 kn (14.37 km/h). The GP version has a PHRF racing average handicap of 66 with a high of 66 and low of 66, with a hull speed of 7.76 kn (14.37 km/h). The limited edition has a PHRF racing average handicap of 72 with a high of 75 and low of 69, with a hull speed of 7.75 kn (14.35 km/h).[6][7][8][9]
