Finally there is a
racer/cruiser with speed to burn and two luxurious
staterooms for great cruising. There's no secret to the C&C
121's speed. The masthead rig spreads an impressive 846
square feet of working sail, which works out to a zippy sail
area-to-displacement ratio of 23.2. To turn sail area into
speed, choose from an array of keel options—the 8-foot Deep
Fin, 6-foot, 6-inch Standard Fin, or 4-foot Shoal Draft
Bulb. Harken winches, blocks, and deck hardware is sited in
all the right places and when you're at the helm, you'll
appreciate the responsiveness of the Lewmar rack-and-pinion
steering and that the self-tailing primary winches are
within easy reach.
Down below, don't be too surprised that the interior
appointments of the C&C 121 strike you as a lot more
luxurious than you'd expected. The varnished cherry
joinerwork, teak-and-holly cabin sole, designer fabrics,
6-foot, 4-inch headroom, solid-surface countertops, and
seven opening deck hatches are just a part of what makes the
C&C 121 interior a success. On the mechanical side, we've
devoted a lot of attention to reducing engine noise and
vibration by installing a quiet, smooth-running Volvo
Saildrive with a geared prop—there's no stuffing box to
leak, misaligned prop shaft to rattle, or sketchy
performance in reverse.
The construction technology, design, and top-level hardware
above and below deck are key to the 121's success. So too is
passion. C&C 121 owners tell us that their boat continues to
sizzle long after they've taken delivery. She goes fast on
the water, looks great at the dock, and cruises in style and
speed. With a repertoire like that, everybody grins.
