About the C-CLASS (CUNNINGHAM)
A second version was built in 1964. LOA 7.60 m / 24.93 ft Pivoting wing mast. Drawing © Francois Chevalier 2015
The C-Class is a rare 24.57 ft fractional sloop designed and built by Charles and Lindsey Cunningham, with production limited to a single year in 1963. Due to the extremely low build count and lack of comprehensive owner reporting, specific reliability trends are difficult to establish, though the vessel represents a unique piece of mid-century American yacht design.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for collectors of vintage American yachts or coastal cruisers seeking a lightweight, easily trailered fractional sloop with a narrow 13.98 ft beam.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a narrow beam and variable keel configurations, this boat is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than serious offshore bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other 1960s American trailer-sailers such as the Pearson 22 or O'Day 22, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and coastal cruising roles.
