**New To The Market**Seller Motivated**
C&C originally a Canadian company was always know for building a fine sailing vessel, for racing and cruising.
The story of C&C Yachts is well known, their list of accomplishments far too long to be repeated here. Beginning in the mid 60's C&C burst upon the international yacht racing scene. A two man design firm, Cuthbertson and Cassian, rocketed from obscurity to dominance. Not only were their boats fast, but they were well engineered, extremely well built, and always beautiful. As the trophies stacked up, so did the orders for new boats. Seemingly overnight, C&C became one of the largest sailing yacht builders in the world. Certainly it was the top performance boat builder in the world through the 1970's. The names are legendary: Red Jacket, Robon, Sorcery, Arieto, Evergreen, Rampage, Archangel and thousands of other well designed, fast and graceful boats that are still sailing today. The boats are the beautiful, tangible results of C&C, but they aren't the whole story.
This 26 C&C will sleep four owners and guests in her forward stateroom and salon. She has all the requirements of weekend cruising in comfort including an adequate galley, head and comfortable salon seating. Her cockpit is large enough to seat at least four to six adults underway or at anchor. She has tiller steering which leaves a good amount of entertainment space in the cockpit. She also has a swim ladder for easy water fun. This nice midsized cruising sailing yacht will clean up nicely and she certainly is a lot of boat for a very small amount of money. Her seller is motivated, Did we say her SELLER IS MOTIVATED!!!!
The owner of this vessel is motivated and is an industry professional.
