C&C 110 Buyer's Guide
Shopping a used C&C 110 on the brokerage market means looking at a 36-foot Fairport Marine-era racer-cruiser from the Xpress Series, designed by Tim Jackett with a vacuum-cored hull and a surprisingly warm cherry interior. These are not common boats, but the ones that surface tend to be well-equipped and sailed in the United States and Canada.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 110 keeps a conventional three-cabin layout for its size: a V-berth forward with hydraulic-hinged top and mesh bins beneath, a saloon with port dinette and starboard settee that serve as sea berths, and a starboard-quarter aft cabin with an athwartships double. The head is unusually large for a 36-footer and sits opposite the foot-of-companionway galley to starboard. A nav station angles off the port settee aft. Cockpit handles six with a T-shape and wide seats; the helm seat opens to two lazarettes, though the stern lockers themselves are narrow despite running the full beam.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats will carry autopilot, a dodger, cabin heat, a chartplotter, and an asymmetric or standard spinnaker as commonly fitted gear, with a bimini, air conditioning, and often a refrigerator from the cruising package. An inverter and sometimes a swim platform, radar, AIS, or cockpit shower show up often. Electric winches are a less common owner upgrade.
For a buyer, the meaningful clusters are power and energy—autopilot, inverter, and heating draw on the house bank, so verify the third battery and charging path—and canvas and sail handling, where a dodger and bimini plus the spinnaker gear define how the boat is actually sailed. Navigation is covered by chartplotter and often radar or AIS, and comfort comes from heat, air conditioning, and the transom shower. The electrically operated swim platform and retractable carbon sprit (on roughly half the fleet) are the standout convenience items to inspect for motor and tube condition.
What to Inspect
The one documented defect to chase is the anchor locker: one owner found a leak between the locker and hull letting water into the bilge anchor. On a viewing hull, open the forward locker, confirm it drains only where intended, and check the bilge below for staining or a musty smell that would betray past intrusion. Also note the stern lazarettes—they run the width but are so narrow that a buyer should test whether emergency gear stored there can actually be pulled out.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats appear in the United States and Canada. Before committing, walk through this short list:
- Check the anchor locker-to-bilge seal for past leaks
- Test lazarette access with gear inside
- Verify the inverter and third battery wiring
- Confirm sprit and swim-platform motors operate
- Inspect rod rigging and recessed furler drum condition
