Specifications Details


This boat has good all-around performance upwind and downwind, in both light and heavy air. Despite a wide maximum beam, the boats ends are fairly well balanced, and the rudder was deep enough to stay in the water in all but a flat-out broach.


You’ll find a number of different keel and rig combinations in the C&C 40. As designed, the boat has a high-aspect-ratio fin keel drawing 7 feet, with an I (height of foretriangle) dimension of 53 feet. This configuration is reasonable for all-around performance, but is a little lacking in power for lighter air. A rig 2 feet taller was introduced, and to increase sail-carrying ability, it was usually coupled with a 4-inch deep, 300-pound lead shoe bolted to the bottom of the keel. Stability of the two versions was virtually identical: The addition to righting moment from the shoe was almost exactly offset by the heeling moment of the taller rig.


The tall-rig, deep-keel version is on the average about three seconds per mile faster than the standard rig, standard keel model.


Note: WILDFIRE has the Deep Keel and Tall Rig


The C&C 40-2 is a completely different design from the earlier C&C 40.
