The C&C 25 MKII is a compact masthead sloop designed by Robert Ball and built by C&C Yachts, with production records indicating a build year of 1980. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in the available data, this model represents a specific iteration of C&C's 25-foot line, characterized by a displacement of 4150.0 lb and a beam of 8.58 ft.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, trailerable package with a comfortable interior, as indicated by its Comfort ratio of 17.01. It is well-suited for single-handers or couples who prioritize ease of handling and storage over long-range offshore endurance.

Bluewater capability:

With a Capsize ratio of 2.14 and a D/L ratio of 231.58, the C&C 25 MKII is designed for coastal cruising rather than serious bluewater passagemaking. Its relatively light displacement and fin keel configuration prioritize performance and trailerability over the heavy displacement typically associated with offshore endurance.

Comparables:

Comparable boats from this era include the Cal 25 and O'Day 25, which share similar dimensions and roles as trailerable coastal cruisers. These models offer similar displacement and beam characteristics, making them direct competitors for buyers seeking a 25-foot package with proven seaworthiness.
