The C&C 53 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian (C&C Design) and first built in 1976.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by Bruckmann Manufacturing, the custom division of C&C Yachts, in Canada. Only a single example was built by Bruckmann, on a male mold. The sole example completed was named Inferno.[1][3][4]

Design

The C&C 53 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass with balsawood cores. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted scimitar-shaped, spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a highly swept, fixed fin keel. It displaces 41,312 lb (18,739 kg).[1]

The boat has a draft of 8.00 ft (2.44 m) with the standard keel installed. The design is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-107 diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW) for docking and maneuvering.[1]
