The C&C 29 is a recreational keelboat built by C&C Yachts in Canada, between 1977 and 1981, with some built in the US as well at their Rhode Island plant.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Over 600 were built.
C&C also produced an unrelated C&C 29-2 design, also sold under the name C&C 29.[4][7][8][9][10][11]
Design
Designed as an International Offshore Rule Half Ton class, it was likely derived from the C&C 1/2 Ton of 1975.[12]
It is built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder.[4][7] It has a draft of 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the standard keel and 4.0 ft (1.2 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. The fuel tank holds 13 U.S. gallons (49 L; 11 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal).[4][5][7]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a V-berth, two straight settee berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin.[4][7]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 177 with a high of 191 and low of 172. It has a hull speed of 6.51 kn (12.06 km/h).[4][5][7][13]
Reception
In a 2004 in Practical Sailor review Darrell Nicholson quoted C&C sales manager Hank Evans, who said, "while the 29 was a great success (over 600 sold) with many one- design fleets, and is a pretty good-looking boat, it left a lot to be desired from a design standpoint. It was very fast and nicely balanced in light and moderate air, but the only way to sail her in a breeze is to ease the traveler all the way down and carry the main almost fully aback. Racer/cruisers are not generally intended to be sailed like dinghies."[3]
