About the C&C 35-2
Interior of the C&C 35-2 is similar to the earlier version.
The C&C 35-2 is a classic cruising sloop designed by C&C and built by C&C Yachts between 1973 and 1975. With a displacement of 13800.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 29.02, this vessel offers a stable, heavy-displacement platform that prioritizes seakindliness over raw speed.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable passage-making vessel, as evidenced by the high frequency of dodger, bimini, and solar panel upgrades indicating a focus on liveaboard comfort and self-sufficiency.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.76 and a displacement of 13800.0 lb, the C&C 35-2 is well-regarded for offshore capability, offering a robust hull form that handles heavy weather with confidence.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels from this era include the Cal 35 and O'Day 35, which share similar displacement and beam characteristics, though the C&C 35-2 distinguishes itself with a higher sail area-to-displacement ratio of 17.56 for better windward performance.
