The C&C 402, often referred to simply as the "New" C&C 40 to distinguish it from its 1960s predecessor, represents the zenith of the racercruiser era defined by the International Offshore Rule (IOR). Launched in 1978 and designed by Robert Ball of the C&C Design Group, this model was engineered to be a formidable competitor in the Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC) while offering the refined interior amenities expected by the era’s luxury cruising market. Constructed primarily at C&C’s NiagaraontheLake facility, the 402 utilized the builder's signature balsacore fiberglass layup, a technique that provided exceptional stiffnesstoweight ratios. This construction method allowed the vessel to maintain a relatively light displacement of approximately 17,500 pounds, making it a "lightair flyer" that could still handle heavy weather when pressed.
