- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 35.67 ft LOA with a comfortable 23.8 comfort ratio. Its 12000.0 lb displacement and 5000.4 lb ballast provide stability for short offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.01 and a displacement/length ratio of 250.69, the C&C 36-1 is well-suited for coastal cruising and protected offshore passages, though its single-year production run suggests limited fleet-wide bluewater track data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1970s C&C models and similar 36-foot fin-keel sloops from the era, such as the Pearson 36 or O'Day 36. These vessels share similar displacement ranges and masthead sloop rigs, offering comparable interior volumes and performance characteristics.
