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]

The C&C 1/2 Ton design was most likely the inspiration for the C&C 29 of 1977.[1]

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]

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

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]

Operational history

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]
