This C&C 27 is in a transferable slip in the St. Petersburg municipal Marina down town
One of the best production boats ever built, the C&C 27 was the yacht that set C&C Yachts on the road to becoming a world leader in fibreglass sailboats. My self, back in 1973, sailing out of Youngstown Yacht Club (US) across the river from Niagara On The Lake Canada where these boats were built, had the pleasure to sail in one of the largest "Big Boat" one design fleets of its time.
Times have changed but not the memories.
Mark II: Hulls 216 to 451 were produced from late 1972 to 1974. The Mark II hulls were the same as the Mark I's. Their sail area also remained the same but they had a two-foot-taller, "higher-aspect" rig, and their standing rigging now had 3 side shrouds (two lowers and one upper). The aft-traveller, tillers, and Atomic 4 gas engines also remained the same.This C&C has been repowered with a Yanmar
