2001 C&C 121 - One Owner | Freshwater Only | Custom Carbon Rig | Exceptionally Well Spec'd
Atlantic Yacht Sales is pleased to offer this exceptional one-owner C&C 121, a performance-oriented cruiser/racer that was custom ordered and carefully spec'd by her original owner when new.
This is not a standard-production C&C 121. From the outset, the owner selected a number of significant custom upgrades, including a custom carbon-fibre mast, custom carbon-fibre spinnaker pole, and a custom mainsheet traveller and winching system positioned immediately forward of the wheel. The mainsheet arrangement was specifically engineered during construction to address the limitations of the standard factory cabin-top traveller and provides substantially improved mainsail control and trimming ability, particularly when sailing upwind in stronger conditions.
The result is a C&C 121 with a particularly capable and purposeful sailing configuration, combining the performance for which C&C is renowned with the comfort and accommodation expected of a 40-foot-plus performance cruiser.
She has been owned by the same owner since new and used exclusively in freshwater, a significant advantage for a vessel of this age. A substantial refit in approximately 2016-2017 included repainting the topsides, installation of a custom carbon-fibre rudder, replacement of the Raymarine instrumentation, and a complete re-wiring of the vessel.
The boat also carries an extensive inventory of North Sails, including multiple mainsails, jibs and spinnakers, providing a variety of configurations for cruising, racing and different wind conditions.
The C&C 121 is an appealing choice for sailors looking for a boat capable of combining performance, speed and competitive sailing ability with genuine cruising accommodations.
This particular example stands apart from a standard C&C 121 through her extensive custom specification, most notably the carbon-fibre rig, carbon spinnaker pole, custom carbon rudder and highly effective mainsheet traveller arrangement.
Combined with her one-owner, freshwater-only history, extensive North Sails inventory, refrigeration, inverter, upgraded Raymarine instrumentation and significant electrical refit, she represents an unusually well-specified example of this Canadian-built performance cruiser/racer.
For the sailor looking for a C&C 121 that was purposefully specified from new rather than modified piecemeal over the years, this is a particularly compelling opportunity.
