The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production. The design was the smallest boat ever built by the company.

The C&C 24 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 3,200 lb (1,451 kg) and carries 1,050 lb (476 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the standard keel fitted.

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 228 with a high of 238 and low of 223. It has a hull speed of 5.92 kn (10.96 km/h).

Elusive C&C 24

• Add to quote

Hello All, I'm wondering what others' opinions are about the smallest of the C&C boats? I'm looking to purchase my first boat for cruising with my family but both my wife and I want something that is still super fun to sail! We've also been looking at Catalina 22's, 27's and C&C 27's but we're on a bit of a budget so some of the bigger boats within our price range seem to come with their own set of problems. Thanks to everyone in advance for your input, Craig  

C&C 24s are great We just sold our C&C 24 in October. She is a 1980 boat and had been in my family since 1983. My aunt and uncle first had her from 1983 to 2007. They sailed her all over the Rhode Island area and southern Mass. We kept her in Hingham, Mass. and sailed her all around Boston and up and down the coast. Here is the flicker page I set up when selling our C&C. The C&C is a great boat to learn on. The sailing system is extremely simple; main sheet comes down in the middle of the cockpit with no traveler, they typically have a Cunningham so main sail adjustments are limited to sheet, halyard, outhaul and Cunningham. One that has been updated well would have the halyards lead back to the cockpit (ours did not but it would have made a huge improvement), a roller furling for the headsail and backstay adjuster. She is a very tough little boat and we had her out some days with winds blowing at 25-30 knots. Our concern on extremely windy days was being able to get back into the slip with the 6 hp motor. We never were at a point where we didn't trust the boat, just the motor and our sailing skills. With the fin keel, she was not that tender, relative to other boats her size. The layout was good for day sailing, not so good for extended cruising. On a day sail, we would take up to four others, for a total of six. But were definitely more comfortable with a total of four plus our dog. (that is our dog, Summer, on the bow of our C&C in my profile picture) The systems were relatively easy to access for regular maintenance. Some of the nuts and backing plates on the stanchions, cleats and winches were difficult to access. Specifically, the ones on the port stern quarter. The boat does have some down sides. The biggest down side was the lack of a head. She has a portapotty under the veeberth. If you plan to sail with women, I highly suggest something with a fixed head. For coastal cruising, she is a bit tight. The head room is less then 5 feet. Not a big deal on nice days but on rainy days or when drying to get dressed, it was a pain. Also, she was short on storage space. This limited the time you could spend without having to hit a marina for more water and ice. The water tank was a two gallon poly tank attached to the hand pump sink. We didn't even bother filling it this last year, just carried a lot of bottled water. The main sheet in the middle of the cockpit makes it difficult to add any type of sun shade for when sailing. Also, as my sailing skills progressed, I found myself wishing for a traveler help make better adjustments to the main. You could add a traveler in a couple of different ways. If you do buy a C&C 24 and want to add a traveler, I could let you know some of the ideas I had. If the C&C 24 had a little more head room and a full head, we would likely still own her. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get into sailing. If you plan is to try sailing and if you like it, move up to a bigger boat, this is a great choice. If you plan to stay with this boat for a long time, I would recommend looking at the C&C 25 or 27. The 25 is extremely similar but has a full head. A friend at our marina has one and loves it. Good luck. Please let me know if you have any other questions on the C&C 24.  

Hi, I agree with JKCatalina310 and find my C&c 24 to be a good all around boat. I would choose either the 25 or 27 though if you are traveling with a family. I singlehand with my dachshunds and bring out my wife for daysails and the 24 is a good dependable and yet fast boat for that. Good luck Ahab211  

We started with a 24 Shark - another C&C built boat - and really liked the look of the Niagara 26 at the time (still do, for that matter) more like a grown up shark than the rest of the C&C line. The C&C 24 is a nice boat too, and any of the models mentioned here will do fine.  

Dilemmas Wow thanks for all the amazing feedback and suggestions. I've definitely been leaning towards one of the C&C line of boats (their reputation is exceptional and feedback from owners is consistently positive) but there is something desirable about the popularity and support available to Catalina's line of boats (especially for a novice boat owner). Right now I'm considering a 1981 Catalina 22 (excellent condition, extremely meticulous owner), a C&C 24 (presumably also in excellent condition though I haven't inspected it myself) and a 1975 C&C 27 (good condition but in serious need of some TLC). Prices nearly double from boat to boat starting at around 3500 for the Catalina, 7000 for the C&C 24 and 12000 for the C&C 27. I'm willing to swallow the difference in price if I can determine exactly which is the best boat for me at this point in my sailing career. My situation is that I am a novice sailor with two young children (below the age of 4) and a wife who likes to sail (but also novice). We're definitely the type who plan to be sailing for many, many years to come and hope it will become a family pastime but we still need to spend more time on the water renewing and developing our sailing skills. I'm inclined to go with a smaller/starter boat initially and move up to something larger in the future..... but I don't want to outgrow a small boat too quickly. What would others recommend based on the information and my personal situation? The smaller or larger boat? The Catalina or the C&C 24 (when one considers the price difference between the two)? Will this be my first boat and I'll likely upgrade in the next couple years anyway so go with the cheaper small boat? I would be grateful to hear of others experiences. Thanks again for all the amazing information, Craig

Craig, Please give us some other details. What is the year of the boats? Are there adds online that we can review? Where are you located? Most importantly, what is your budget? Without knowing any of the details, I would say the C&C simply based on size. Although they are not much different and the Catalina 22 has a swing keel typically, which can be nice for learning. Also, the price you have for the C&Cs seem a little high. My 24 was in excellent condition and we only got $4,500 for it.  

Since you both enjoy sailing, and seem quite confident that it's something you'll want to continue with your family, AND if you can swing the money I'd be very tempted to go for the 27 or something in that range. Your small tots will grow quickly, and this is an excellent time to start sailing with them. I think you'll be much more comfortable with a larger boat and more inclined to spend extended vacations afloat with a family of 4 if you go to a 27/28 footer. A Cat 27, C&C 27, etc.. look at Rangers too perhaps, you should be able to find a decent example under $10K nowadays.  

Take a look at Mirage 24s as well. Was going to be the design for the C&C 24 originally except that at the time C&C didn't think they had a market for a boat under 25', so Mirage bought/aquired the design and built quite a few. Had hull 268 a number of years ago for quite a long time. Recently bought a C&C 27 in really good condition for $5k, so if you're patient you can find deals.  

Re: C&C 24s are great I just bought a 1980 24' C&C sailboat. It has solar power, but the panel just lays on top and the wiring just runs through the hatchway. If you had solar power, how did you handle the wiring. Thanks Newsailer42.

CS27's are plentiful in Ontario and superior to the others you mention.  

You describe yourself as a "novice sailor." That being the case, a smaller boat like the Catalina 22 would be excellent to learn on. Smaller boats get used more frequently. To have the best first experience, getting a popular boat like the C22 makes a lot of sense. You can easily find owners of C22s and most would be willing to help you out when you need it. Best wishes in your search.

C & C 24 - stability?

• Thread starter karndt
• Start date Jan 15, 2012
• Brand-Specific Forums

My boyfriend and I are looking to purchase a sailboat for day sailing off the Florida east coast. I would like to get a boat that is reasonably stable. Is a C & C 24 good for this or does it heel way over in any strong winds?  

Warren Milberg

I owned and sailed a C&C 24 Niagra for many years on the Chesapeake Bay. It is a very fast and easy to sail boat that I sailed in various conditions up to including gale force winds. This is a relatively light displacement, round bottom, wide-beamed boat that is, in my mind, very tender and prone to heeling. I do not say that as a negative criticism as it added a lot of saling fun to my adventures. I found the key to sailing this wonderful little boat was always having the right sail combination up before conditions worsened. I had 4 headsails for this boat that ranged from a smallish spitfire jib up to a 150 genoa and used all them. The boat did not have furling so changing a hanked on headsail or reefing the main, in a blow, while solo sailing, was a challenge, albeit a manageable one. Just do it early. I loved my C&C 24 and only sold it (it has since been fully restored by the current owner in Canada) as I planned to do some more serious crusing and wanted a boat with full standing headroom. It is a great day sailor.

Hi karndt, Do you have much sailing experience? Heeling over tends to be scary until you are used to it, after you gain experience it is just part of the sailing experience. You want a boat suitable for the conditions you will be sailing in, just do not get too excited about heeling over. 15-20 degrees is normal, and 30 degrees really won't hurt. It just seems like it will, at first. Good luck in your boat search.  

why don't you just post one list of all the boats you're interested in, instead of posting separately for each one............ then you could easily compare them. ] For what it's worth........ the sailor controls the heeling in the end, but I can understand your reasons for looking for a less tender boat. Good luck.

To sum up, the stability of the boat is directly related to two factors: her displacement, and the length of the righting arm. The heavier the displacement and/or the longer the righting arm, the greater the stability. In turn, the length of the righting arm depends on the location of the center of gravity (CG) and the location of the heeled center of buoyancy (CB). The lower the CG, the longer the righting arm. The further outboard the heeled CB, the longer the righting arm. It's that simple. Click to expand

JK_Boston_Catalina310

We had a C&C 24 before our C310. We loved the boat but ended up moving on largely due to the lack of a head and inboard engine. While the outboard is a little easier to maintain, it has significant negatives when powering in choppy water. And the lack of a head limited the amount of time we could spend out on the water. To the stability, she is a very well designed and built boat. She is more tender then the C30 you have sailed but as others have mentioned, that is within your control. My wife was concerned about that and one day we went out to show her it was more stable then she thought. For the most part a well designed boat will round up into the wind before it goes over. We had 20+ it's winds a 135 genny and full mainsail. You could bury the toe rail but she would round up before going over any further. From that day on, she has been more comfortable with heeling. Good luck
