38' C&C 38 MKIII

C&C Yachts built a strong reputation throughout the 1970s and 1980s for producing performance-oriented sailboats that combined speed, solid construction, and practical cruising layouts. Designed and built in Canada, C&C models from this era are well regarded for their responsive sailing characteristics and ability to perform equally well on the racecourse or during coastal cruising.


The C&C 38 MkIII, introduced in the mid-1980s, represents a shift toward a more modern performance cruiser design. With increased beam, improved interior volume, and a refined hull shape compared to earlier C&C models, the 38 MkIII delivers a balanced sailing experience with strong upwind performance and comfortable onboard accommodations. Its masthead sloop rig and fin keel configuration make it a capable and versatile platform for a wide range of sailing conditions.
