The C&C 30 is a series of Canadian and American sailboats, that was first built in 1973. [1] [2] [3]
The C&C 30 molds are thought to have been used to create the Lancer 29 Mark III and the Lancer 30 Mark II in 1977. [4] [5]
The initial models were built by C&C Yachts of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, in Canada. [1] [6] The newest model, the C&C 30 One Design, was built by USWatercraft, LLC under the C&C brand, in Newport, Rhode Island until their entry into receivership in July 2017. [7] [8]
The C&C 30 series are all recreational and racing keelboats, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. There have been four boats to carry the C&C 30 designation, each a completely different design. [1] [2]
Robert Ball commented on the C&C 30 Mk.1, noting George Harding Cuthbertson's guidance:
The C&C 30 was my first Lines Drawing, but it was Big George telling me what to do.
The design was very much a development of the 27. Once we started being able to actual 'compare' the stability of different designs- it turns out the 30 is the most stable boat we ever did.
Listening to owners over the years, the boat is stable and tough (indestructible) and will last forever
In a review for Canadian Yachting John Boros wrote, "Production began in 1973 and ceased in 1985 -- a 12-year period that represents the longest production run of any single design version in the history of C&C Yachts. Although more 27s were built, in excess of 1,000, over a similar 12-year production period, with four distinct design phases, the 27 underwent comparatively continual change in relation to the 30, having only the one design version.
According to Steve Kiemele, of South Shore Yachts, "The 30 didn't need any changes, it held its appeal. This makes it 'The Classic'." [9]
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The C&C 30 probably did more than any other boat to establish the 30 foot size range in the minds of many Canadian sailors. Like the C&C 27, it also has to be considered a classic among the production fiberglass boats built in the country. In fact, its appearance and layout is very similar to the C&C 27, just more of everything, including some extra elbow room down below. This is a well built boat with good performance, and it did much to elevate C&C to the status of one of North America's premier sailboat manufacturers during the 1970s and 1980s." [15]
