The C&C 27 Mk V, or Mark V, is a recreational keelboat built by C&C Yachts starting in 1984, and is now out of production.[2][1][3][4] It was a new design, unrelated to the C&C 27 Mark I, II, III and IV. It was originally marketed as the "new C&C 27", but is now usually referred to as the Mark V to differentiate it from the earlier 27.[1][2]
Some were built in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Canada. At the time C&C was Canada's largest boat builder.[5] Others were built in Rhode Island, United States.
The C&C 26 Wave is derived from the Mk V, but with a wing keel and shorter mast.[6]
Design
Designed by the C&C Design Group led by Neil Gilbert, the Mark V was introduced to refresh the 1970s styling[7] of the earlier C&C 27 series and also to improve the manufacturing profitability of the boat. The previous C&C 27 series cost as much to build as the larger C&C boats, but commanded a lower retail price.[1]
The C&C 27 Mk V has a fibreglass hull and a fixed keel, available in standard fin and shoal draft. The design features a raked stem, a reverse transom and a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller. The fin keel version displaces 4,420 lb (2,005 kg) and carries 1,715 lb (778 kg) of lead ballast. The shoal draft keel version displaces 5,080 lb (2,304 kg) and carries 2,075 lb (941 kg) of ballast.[2]
The boat has a draft of 4.83 ft (1.47 m) with the standard keel and 3.5 ft (1.1 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[2]
The boat is fitted with a Yanmar 1GMF diesel engine of 7.5 hp (6 kW). The fuel tank holds 10 U.S. gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal).[2]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 174 with a spinnaker and 192 without.[1] It has a masthead sloop rig.
