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

The C&C 30 molds are thought to have been used to create the Lancer 29 Mark III and the Lancer 30 Mark II in 1977.[4][5]

Production

The initial models were built by C&C Yachts of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, in Canada.[1][6] 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.[7][8]

Design

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

Variants

C&C 30-1 (Mark 1)
This model was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian, introduced in 1973 and over 800 were built.[9] It has a length overall of 30.00 ft (9.1 m), a waterline length of 24.92 ft (7.6 m), displaces 8,000 lb (3,629 kg), carries 3,450 lb (1,565 kg) of lead ballast and has a masthead sloop rig. The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel and 4.2 ft (1.3 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. The boat was initially fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine. This was replaced with a Japanese Yanmar QM15 diesel engine and later a Yanmar 2GM diesel. It has a hull speed of 6.69 kn (12.39 km/h). Later boats built had a large number of small changes to the design, including new windows and rudder mounts[1][2][10]

Robert Ball commented on the C&C 30 Mk.1, noting George Harding Cuthbertson's guidance:

The C&C 30 was my first Lines Drawing, but it was Big George telling me what to do.

The design was very much a development of the 27. Once we started being able to actual 'compare' the stability of different designs- it turns out the 30 is the most stable boat we ever did.

Listening to owners over the years, the boat is stable and tough (indestructible) and will last forever

In a review for Canadian Yachting John Boros wrote, "Production began in 1973 and ceased in 1985 -- a 12-year period that represents the longest production run of any single design version in the history of C&C Yachts. Although more 27s were built, in excess of 1,000, over a similar 12-year production period, with four distinct design phases, the 27 underwent comparatively continual change in relation to the 30, having only the one design version.

According to Steve Kiemele, of South Shore Yachts, "The 30 didn't need any changes, it held its appeal. This makes it 'The Classic'."[9]

C&C 30-2 (Mark 2)
C&C 30-2 (Mark 2)
This later model was designed by Robert W. Ball and introduced in 1988. It has a length overall of 29.92 ft (9.1 m), a waterline length of 25.75 ft (7.8 m), displaces 8,275 lb (3,753 kg) (8,500 lb (3,856 kg) with the winged keel), carries 3,100 lb (1,406 kg) of lead ballast and has a masthead sloop rig. The boat has a draft of 5.83 ft (1.78 m) with the standard keel and 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the optional wing keel. The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GM diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 33 U.S. gallons (120 L; 27 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 53 U.S. gallons (200 L; 44 imp gal). The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 144 with a high of 144 and low of 147. It has a hull speed of 6.8 kn (12.59 km/h).[11][12][13][14]
C&C 30 One Design
This model was introduced as a one design racer, designed by Mark Mills and was in production in 2017. The hull is made from Vinylester, E-glass with foam core, resin-infused carbon reinforced structure and features a retractable bowsprit. It has a length overall of 30.01 ft (9.1 m), a waterline length of 28.70 ft (8.7 m), displaces 3,995 lb (1,812 kg) and carries 1,579 lb (716 kg) of ballast. The boat has a carbon fibre lead bulb daggerboard and is fitted with a Swedish Volvo saildrive diesel engine of 12 hp (9 kW). The fuel tank holds 6.5 U.S. gallons (25 L; 5.4 imp gal). It has carbon fibre spars, a fractional rig and 640.6 sq ft (59.51 m2) of sail for upwind sailing and 1,643.2 sq ft (152.66 m2) for downwind sailing.[7]

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."[15]
