Many people regard the C&C 27 as a Canadian Classic, and for good reason - close to 1000 of these boats were built between 1970 and 1982. With such a long production run, the C&C 27 underwent a number or subtle and not-so-subtle design changes.
There is not a great deal of difference between the Mark I and Mark II versions of this boat, but a significant design update occurred with the Mark III, which appeared in the mid 1970's. Although the Mark III's look very much like the earlier versions of the C&C 27, it carries a slightly larger sail area, its hull is at least six inches longer, and its waterline is almost a whole two feet longer. This makes it a faster boat.
"Crescendo" is a much-loved one-owner boat. She has had a number of upgrades over the years and her recent upgrades include a new Harken furling system in 2004 and a new mainsail in 2006.
Her forward cabin features 2 6-foot berths with filler cushion & storage under, stowage shelves over, hanging locker with shelf, and privacy door. Just aft is the head that features a manual marine toilet, sink/vanity and ample storage. Her main cabin features a large convertible dinette to port that drops to accomodate 2 guests, starboard settee that sleeps 1, fixed portlights, carpeted cabin sole, and abundant storage. Aft is the galley which features a two-burner alcohol stove, top-loading ice box, stainless sink and ample storage. Her cockpit is self-bailing and features seating for 6. Her inboard chain plates allow easy passage along decks. Her hull & deck construction is each made of one-piece solid-fiberglass with non-skid in all work areas.
The owner is sadly parting with her and she is now looking for a new family to take with her on her next set of adventures. |
