Used C&C 29 Sailboats for Sale

The C&C 29 represents a fascinating chapter in North American boatbuilding, existing as two entirely distinct designs that share a name but little else. Produced by the legendary Canadian yard C&C Yachts, the model served as a cornerstone of the company’s "performance cruiser" identity through the late 1970s and 1980s. The original C&C 29 (now commonly called the Mk I) was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian and produced between 1977 and 1981, with over 600 units built. It was conceived as an International Offshore Rule (IOR) Half Ton class racer-cruiser. In 1983, the company launched the C&C 29 Mk II (or 29-2), a clean-sheet design by Rob Ball that remained in production until 1986. While the Mk I was a beamier, more traditional IOR shape, the Mk II was a narrower, deeper-keeled vessel designed to the Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) rule. Both versions were built with the brand’s signature high-quality fiberglass construction, featuring solid glass hulls and balsa-cored decks, and remain highly sought after by club racers and coastal cruisers alike.
