The C&C 1/2 Ton is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by C&C Design as an International Offshore Rule Half Ton class racer.[1][2][3][4]

The C&C 1/2 Ton design was the basis for the C&C 29 of 1977.[1][4][5]

Production

The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada as a made-to-order, semi-custom built limited edition boat between 1975 and 1980, with only 12 examples completed, but it is now out of production.[1][4][6]

Design

The C&C 1/2 Ton is a small racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,400 lb (2,903 kg).[1][2][4]

The boat has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the standard keel.[1][4]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 165 with a high of 165 and low of 168. It has a hull speed of 6.61 kn (12.24 km/h).[2][4]

Operational history

The boat is support by an active class club, the Half-Ton Class.[4][7]

The first boat delivered was named SuperStar and sailed by Hans Fogh to 7th place in the 1/2 Ton Cup races held at Trieste, Italy in 1976.[1][4]
