The design was developed into the C&C 33-1 later in 1974, using the same hull design and sailplan.[1][3]

Production

The boat was built on a "semi custom" basis by C&C Yachts in Canada and they completed 15 examples in 1974.[1][3][4]

Design

The C&C 3/4 Ton is a small racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 9,800 lb (4,445 kg) and carries 4,075 lb (1,848 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.89 kn (12.76 km/h).[3]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the IOR 3/4 ton Association.[3][5]
