About the C&C 36R

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The C&C 36R is a classic masthead sloop designed by the C&C design team and built by C&C Yachts, with production records indicating a build year of 1971. As a representative of early 1970s Canadian cruising yachts, it features a 35.08 ft LOA and a displacement of 12700.0 lb, reflecting a design philosophy that balances performance with substantial build quality.

Best for:
This vessel is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who appreciate a traditional, heavy-displacement cruising experience with a comfortable motion, as indicated by its 24.75 comfort ratio.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 12700.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.92, the C&C 36R demonstrates the structural integrity and stability required for offshore passages, though its single build year of 1971 suggests limited production volume for this specific model.
Comparables:
Comparable vessels from this era include the Cal 34 and O'Day 36, which share similar beam dimensions (11.17 ft) and displacement ranges, offering alternative options for buyers seeking a 35-foot cruising sloop with a fin keel.
