About the LANDFALL 48 (C&C)
The C&C 49, built specifically for Tortola Yacht Charters, is similar.
The C&C Landfall 48 is a substantial cruising yacht designed and built by C&C Yachts, with a production run of 24 hulls constructed between 1980 and 1982. This limited-production cutter-rigged vessel offers a robust platform for serious cruisers, characterized by its significant displacement and beam.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and stability, as indicated by the high frequency of bimini, dodger, and watermaker installations. The prevalence of solar panel upgrades suggests it is also well-matched for owners seeking extended self-sufficiency and liveaboard capabilities.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 31600.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.77, the Landfall 48 exhibits strong offshore stability and seakeeping characteristics suitable for bluewater passages. The cutter rig configuration further enhances its versatility and safety in heavy weather conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the C&C 40 and 42, which share the same era and design philosophy, as well as the Tartan 4200 and O'Day 42, which offer similar beam and displacement characteristics for comfortable cruising. These vessels are comparable due to their shared focus on interior volume and stability over pure racing performance.
