C&C Landfall 39 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a C&C Landfall 39 means chasing a scarce centre-cockpit cruiser: C&C Yachts completed at least fifteen between 1985 and 1989 at its Rhode Island plant, and the design is now out of production. The boat is sometimes confused with an unrelated Ron Amy design from 1974 that shares the name, so confirming the C&C Design and Robert Perry pedigree and the centre-cockpit hull is the first step before any offer.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common on the used market, but both layout types appear, and ex-charter examples are common. The centre-cockpit deck layout gives the boat an aft cabin interior, and owners report that almost the entire hull is devoted to accommodations apart from a cavernous lazarette. Below, the companionway ladder leads directly into a spacious main saloon with outboard settees around a centreline drop-leaf table; a large aft-facing navigation station sits to starboard. The forward cabin holds a generous V-berth reached by a short passageway, while the port-side passage to the aft cabin carries the galley with a double sink, three-burner stove, and top-loading refrigerator/freezer. The aft cabin itself offers an athwartships double berth, its own head, and numerous stowage spaces.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On well-equipped examples, power and energy clusters around a diesel heating system and hot water, with a furling main and electric winches reducing crew workload under the masthead sloop rig. Navigation and visibility commonly include a radar and chartplotter paired with an autopilot for offshore passages. Canvas and sail handling run to a dodger and both spinnaker and asymmetric spinnaker for light-air performance, while teak decks and a cockpit shower round out the comfort-focused upgrades seen on many boats.
What to Inspect
A survey should confirm the balsa-cored fibreglass hull and deck for the moisture issues endemic to the construction era, and verify the skeg-hung rudder and centre-cockpit sole seams as on any small-production cruiser.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats turn up in the United States, Australia, and Croatia. For a buyer, the checklist is short: confirm it is the C&C Design/Robert Perry centre-cockpit boat and not the 1974 Amy design; inspect for balsa-core moisture; verify the aft-cabin and galley upgrades match the layout you want; and treat the small build count as reason to move when a clean example appears.
