The C&C 27 Mk IV represents the final and most refined evolution of a hull design that effectively defined the cruiserracer category in North America during the 1970s and 80s. Designed by Robert "Rob" Ball and produced by C&C Yachts in Ontario, Canada, the Mk IV was introduced in 1981 as a highperformance update to the legendary 27foot series. While the original Mk I debuted in 1970, the Mk IV addressed the evolving needs of the PHRF racing circuit and the expectations of coastal cruisers, featuring a taller, more powerful rig and a modernized interior. According to historical data maintained by the C&C 27 Association, this iteration maintained the classic C&C aesthetic—a sleek, lowprofile cabin trunk, a slightly reversed transom, and a balanced sail plan—while optimizing the weight distribution for better lightair performance. Over 1,000 units were produced across the various "Mark" versions, making it one of the most successful production sailboats in Canadian history.
