The C&C 3/4 Ton is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Robert W. Ball as an International Offshore Rule Three-Quarter Ton class racer and first built in 1974.[1][2] [3]
The design was developed into the C&C 33-1 later in 1974, using the same hull design and sailplan.[1][3]
Production[edit]
The boat was built on a "semi custom" basis by C&C Yachts in Canada and they completed 15 examples in 1974.[1][3][4]
Design[edit]
The C&C 3/4 Ton is a small racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,800 lb (4,445 kg) and carries 4,075 lb (1,848 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.89 kn (12.76 km/h).[3]
Operational history[edit]
The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the IOR 3/4 ton Association.[3][5]
