The C&C 51 Custom is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Robert W. Ball and first built in 1986.[1][2]
Production
The design was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][3]
At least 5 examples were produced (based on Hull Identification Numbers (HIN) in the US Coast Guard database),[4] while three more were under construction when the C&C factory in Niagara-on-the-Lake was destroyed by fire in 1994.[5] The last example, Silent Partner II, was finished from a hull produced by C&C and spared by the fire, with the finishing work completed at the Wiggers Yard in Ontario, Canada, and was launched in 1997.[6][7]
Design
The C&C 51 Custom is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed stub fin keel with a retractable centreboard. It displaces Шаблон:Convert and carries Шаблон:Convert of ballast.[1] It carries a sail area of Шаблон:Convert and has an air draft (overall height) of Шаблон:Convert.[8]
The C&C 51 was designed as a centerboarder from the start. The centreboard is filled with lead ballast and has a hydraulic lift with a tackle arrangement in which the hydraulic cylinder moves about one quarter the distance needed to pull up the board.[9] As a result the boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the centreboard extended and Шаблон:Convert with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow moorings.[1] One example, Silent Partner II, was completed with a fixed keel.[7]
The design has a hull speed of Шаблон:Convert.[10]
There was a 51 XL version produced with a slightly taller mast and so a slightly larger sail area.[11]
