Seller's Description

C&C 27 MK V, 1989 MK V “Trillium” Asking $9,999 – Make an Offer! Located at Marina in Kemah, Texas (Brackish Water -NOT Saltwater)

This is a hard-to-beat starter boat and should be highly considered for those wanting to get into sailing or maybe someone just wanting to step down!

First built in 1970, the C&C 27 is an outstanding sailboat, roomy and comfortable cruiser and a competitive racer. From the original design by George Cuther, this model has undergone several alterations. The all new design of the “Mark V” was first produced in 1984. The hull is solid fiberglass and the deck is balsa cored. Compared to older models, this latest design is lighter, shorter and more oriented toward performance.

Trillium is a beautiful example of the 27’ C&C MK V. Clean, dry, sturdy in a gale and she loves a breeze! Easily single-handed, she is a perfect sailboat for anyone. Whether it’s your first boat, or you’re looking for a boat that is easily handled, you’ll find what you’re looking for in Trillium.

Accommodations

The forward cabin on the boat is a generous 6’ 4” V-berth with ample storage underneath. Immediately aft, the portable head is located to port, with a hanging locker behind it. Opposite the head, on the starboard side, is located a storage area and cabinets. Moving into the main salon, the wide beam, 5’ 10” headroom and two windows on either side of the boat give a spacious and airy feel to the salon. The teak and holly sole add warmth to the interior. On the starboard side, there is a short and comfortable settee. Moving further aft along the starboard side, there is the galley with its ample storage and deep sink with a hand pump. The generously sized icebox can fit plenty of food and drinks and is fully insulated. The galley is mostly molded in one piece and the edges and corners are rounded, making it very easy to clean. Across the boat on the port side, is a full-length settee that is able to be folded out and widened into a double berth. Moving further aft on the port side, there is a spacious quarterberth with two dry stowage bins underneath.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.1 kn
Classic: 6.43 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

8.14 knots
Classic formula: 6.43 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.3
>20: high performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
20.32
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
38.8
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

38.8
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
162.2
100-200: light

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
162.22
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
14.6
<20: lightweight racing boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
14.57
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.3
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
2.25
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The C&C 27 MK V is a new design replacing C&C’s earlier 27 footers.
It was built in Canada as well as the US.
The Yanmar diesel was an option.
Shoal draft: 3.5’/1.067m
Disp. 4080 lbs./1852 kgs.
Ballast: 2075 lbs./941 kgs.
