Seller's Description

The C&C 35-3 is the pinnacle of the racer/cruiser genre of sailboats. Including all of the comforts necessary for a long-term stay and the agility and speed to impress on the racecourse.

This particular 35-3 has had great success on the racecourse placing 3rd in the CYC Mac Race Cruising section and multiple podium finishes on various Chicago based events including the Helly Hansen Noods, Tri-State and Bi-State Regattas, Waukegan Races and many more; a proven race winner.

Also outfited for cruising, she includes a bimini and custom cockpit tent, 400AH house battery bank with provisions to easily add solar, inverter, stove and even a refridgerator!

She is one of, if not the most upgraded C&C 35-3 and well cared for. A complete equipment list is below but a few notable upgrades include:

1) Full suite of Raymarine electronics and instruments on a NMEA2000 network including 12” chartplotter

2) Filtered and pressurized water drawn straight from the lake so no storage tanks needed

3) Cockpit seating covered in teak-look eva foam for comfort (in addition to removable cushions)

4) Converted to asymmetric spinnakers with retractable sprit (original pole and hardware still available.)

The boat is on the hard for the 2023/24 winter in Chicago on her own cradle. Bottom has already been painted and she is ready for launch!

**please email to schedule a time to see her. No offers will be considered sight-unseen.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.2 kn
Classic: 7.09 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

8.16 knots
Classic formula: 7.09 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.7
16-20: good 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.
18.73
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
41.6
>40: stiffer, more 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

41.57
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
220.5
200-275: moderate

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
220.48
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
22.3
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
22.29
<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
2.0
>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
2.02
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The C&C 35-3 (MKIII) is a completely new design that replaced C&C’s earlier 35 footer.
Keel/CB version:
Draft (BD): 6.40’/1.95m
Draft (BU): 4.16’/1.27m
Displacement: 12150 lbs./5511 kgs.
Ballast: 5700 lbs./2586 kgs.
