Hi mate, i own a C&C in the past, i can tell you by experience some points to consider with this particular boat, C&C almost all the models are cored built, below waterline to, you need to
survey the hull carefully, C&C are one of the first builders that start cored the hulls and decks and in fact built the hulls very well, another point to consider is the
keel , a smile in the forward edge of the keel in most c&c is usual, check the
keel bolts and sound the hull around the stub , and recheck the
keel bolts for rust ,
corrosion, keel bolts loose, etc...
Rod
Rigging, many C&C come with rod as standar , for
racing is wondefull, again check the
rigging with a
surveyor carefully, some rod rigging need replace every 4 to 5 years , rod break with out warning!!
Main bulkhead around
saloon, C&C are made with a pan liner inside of the structure in some models, bulkheads rest in this liners , the
bilge in most models is flat, water in the
bilge for prolonged time made havoc in the keel shoe and in the main bulkhead close to the
mast, check the condition of the bulkheads in the area that are close with the bilge , also some boats are raced hard, and bulkheads shifting from the liner are usual,
Chainplates, and here i agree with Euro cruiser , some C&C have the chainplates bolted to the wood bulkheads, caution here to...
Well some points to remember with c&c , i never forget my old c&c , this boats sail like a dream, have a sweet hull line, beautifull boats, very well made and are fast... Enjoy one of the most canadian boat ever made.
Cheers.
