The C&C 25 is a series of Canadian sailboats, first built in 1973.[1][2][3][4][5]

C&C also produced the unrelated C&C 25 Redline design.[6][7]

Production

The boat series was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][8]

Design

Dick and Irene Steffen had owned a yacht dealership for C&C Yachts, that was located in Pointe Claire, Quebec. The dealership had done good business selling C&C boats, but the C&C line did not offer a boat smaller than the C&C 27 at that time. Dick Steffen was a competitive sailing racer and thought that there would be a good market for a C&C 24 foot keelboat. At his request C&C designed the boat, but decided not to proceed with production. Steffen bought the design from C&C, founding Mirage Yachts in February 1972 to build the design. The Mirage 24 sold well and quickly established a strong racing record in Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) class events. Caught off guard by the success of the boat, C&C decided to design a competitor, which they named the C&C 25, that was very similar to the Mirage 24's design.[9]

The C&C 25 designs are both a small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They have masthead sloop rigs, transom-hung rudders and fixed fin keels.[1][2][3][4]

Operational history

In a review of the Mark II Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The newer version of the C&C 25 (the Mark II) was introduced in the early 1980s. Compared to its predecessor, it has a more modern look about it, a slightly deeper keel which allows it to point a little higher, and a truck cabin that is raised all the way forward (as opposed to the original cabin which sloped downwards towards the front of the boat). Despite all these changes, the new C&C 25 has the same hull design as the original model (The Mark I)."[10]

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "the C&C 25 came out in 1972 as a capable racer-cruiser with more than average space below for a 25-footer. Eventually a Mk II version was introduced in the early 1980s, with the same hull and general accommodations plan, but tweaked for more speed ... The newer version replaced the forward-sloping cabin with a longer trunk cabin featuring a bubble at the after end that furnishes a few inches more headroom without appearing top-heavy; a reshaped keel (less raked, deeper by 5 inches) designed for higher pointing; 190 pounds less ballast; and other minor changes. The net result of the tweaking for speed was an average PHRF rating of 222 for both Mk I and Mk II, in other words no change at all ... The galley seems squeezed up too close to the companionway ladder. Claustrophobic cooks beware."[11]
