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]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
