About the C&C 34+WK

See C&C 34+R. Wing keel version of a model most often referred to as the 34/36. Launched in the spring of 1989, the 34/36 was available in three versions (+, XL and R).The "+" version is the club racer-cruiser. The "R" is the full-blown racing version with a deeper keel. Not long after came the XL version, meant to combine the "R" performance with a more cruising oriented interior.

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The C&C 34+WK is a 35.5 ft masthead sloop designed by Robert Ball and built by C&C Yachts in 1989. With a displacement of 12000.0 lb and a beam of 11.58 ft, this vessel represents a specific iteration of the popular C&C 34 line, though the exact total hulls built for this specific WK variant is not definitively recorded in the source data.

Best for:
This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride with a comfort ratio of 22.04. Its moderate displacement and fin keel configuration make it manageable for couples or small families seeking a balance of performance and livability.
Bluewater capability:
With a capsize ratio of 2.03 and a displacement of 12000.0 lb, the boat is generally considered suitable for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extreme offshore passages.
Comparables:
Comparable vessels include the standard C&C 34 and C&C 34+, as they share the same designer and similar dimensions, though the +WK variant may have specific rig or deck layout differences. Other late-80s 35-footers like the Cal 35 or Pearson 351 offer similar cruising comfort but with different hull forms.
