If fast is fun, then sailing
a C&C 99 will be more fun than you've had in a long time.
She's a 32-footer that is race-ready with family and friends
and cruiseworthy in civilized fashion, with undeniably
rakish styling and a daring cockpit and deck layout. This is
one sporty speedster...we'll understand completely when you
order your hull in fire-engine-red.
Just a few numbers say a lot about the C&C 99's performance.
The sail area-to-displacement ratio is 21.5, the righting
moment is 883 foot pounds per degree, the �J� (foretriangle)
dimension is 13 feet, and the area of the spinnaker,
courtesy of an oversize 14-foot, 6-inch pole, is 1,026
square feet. Other vital ingredients of the speed recipe
include an easily-driven canoe body with minimum wetted
surface; a near-plumb bow to maximize waterline; a deep,
balanced spade rudder; a high-lift-foil keel for windward
efficiency. Sailors all over the country have noticed how
quick the C&C 99 is�she won her class at Key West Race Week,
and both Cruising World and SAIL magazine selected the C&C
99 as one of the best boats of the year.
