About the C&C 115
Designed by Tim Jackett and built by C&C Yachts, the C&C 115 is a 37.75 ft fractional sloop with a production run starting in 2005. While the exact hull count is unspecified, this model represents a modern, performance-oriented cruising platform with a displacement of 11800.0 lb and a beam of 11.92 ft.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and active weekend sailors who prioritize performance and modern amenities, evidenced by the high prevalence of solar panel, watermaker, and bow thruster installations.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.1 and a D/L ratio of 146.59, the boat is capable of offshore passages, though its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is better suited for protected coastal waters than heavy ocean voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other early-2000s performance cruisers like the Beneteau First 36.7 or Nauticat 36, the C&C 115 shares a similar fractional rig layout and emphasis on interior volume within a sub-40 ft footprint.
