Using the latest technology in boatbuilding allows the designer latitude to deliver raceboat performance while maintaining cruising comfort. The new 115 is the latest embodiment of C&C's dedication to this seemingly contradictory ideal and to leading the industry in all facets of boatbuilding technology.
With her BPA epoxy resin infused, eglass, and synthetic core hull laminate, BPA epoxy resin infusion deck, and a carbon-fiber mast and rudder as standard equipment, the 115 maintains high octane performance ratios yet an interior that features two separate cabins, luxurious main cabin, sit-down nav station, large galley, and head with stall shower. Others try to match what we're doing at C&C Yachts, but without the advanced building technology we've designed and employ, they simply do not have the tools required.
The C&C 115's long waterline (33 feet) produces a very impressive 147 displacement/length ratio. Her BPA epoxy hull laminate consists of an all uni-directional e-glass structural laminate locally reinforced with uni-directional carbon fiber and sandwiched on sythetic foam coring. The laminate is carefully placed in the mold dry, and vacuum bagged and the resin is then infused into the matrix. Building the laminate this way produces the lightest, strongest, and stiffest structure possible and the weight saved can be used for interior appointments and additional ballast further enhancing the 115's performance and livability. The bulbed 4,200-lb lead keel has an extremely low center of gravity producing a high righting moment allowing a powerful sailplan resulting in a sail area/displacement ratio of 23.1.

Standard features:
Hull
Hull construction is a vacuum infused BPA epoxy, unidirectional E glass, and synthetic cored laminate locally reinforced with carbon fiber.
Carbon fiber uni-directional reinforcements in way of keel, chain plates and centerline for high strength and rigidity
The incredible adhesion properties of BPA epoxy allows the structural laminate to be comprised primarily of uni-directional fibers instead of chopped strand mat. Chopped strand mat is the cheapest, heaviest, and weakest component and dominates conventional polyester hull construction
Pound-for-pound an infused BPA epoxy resin laminate is far stronger than any polyester resin laminate
Hull cosmetics are also enhanced by the extremely low shrinkage of epoxy resin vs. polyester resin and the reduction in overall resin content thus eliminating or reducing post-cure hull distortions found in conventional polyester laminates
The vacuum infusion process and strict resin control produces a hull laminate with 65% glass reinforcement content. The industry norm for polyester resin hull laminates is 25% glass content. Our laminating process produces a stronger yet lighter hull
Synthetic foam coring is used for maximum impact resistance, stiffness, strength, and light weight. The cored hull also offers superior hull insulating properties, both thermal and acoustical
The laminate is reinforced with multiple plies of high-tensile carbon-fiber unidirectional reinforcements in highly loaded areas of the hull
Premium grade gelcoat provides superior gloss, fade resistance, and resistance to surface crazing
Interior is completely painted out for enhanced cosmetics and to seal interior laminate surfaces
Hull is backed by a transferable 15-year no blister, hull structure warranty
Deck
Deck is a balanced composite laminate utilizing Phenol B epoxy resin, unidirectional E-glass reinforcement, and high strength/stiffness Baltek premium sealed balsa coring
Our custom resin infusion process creates the best resin to glass reinforcement ratio possible resulting in the stiffest, lightest, strongest deck in production boatbuilding
The deck is locally reinforced at high load areas with additional plies of bidirectional E-glass reinforcement
White, light gray, or white/sandstone and white/gray two-tone decks with patterned non-skid are available
Premium grade gelcoat provides superior gloss, resistance to fading, and resistance to crazing
Deck coring windows are located at all hardware installations to maintain the watertight integrity of the deck coring
Hull to deck joint is secured with 1/4-20 stainless machine screws installed on 4 centers through the full-length 6061 T6 aluminum backing plate imbedded in the hull flange. This method exceeds the recommended installation requirements of the ABS scantling for offshore sailing yachts.
Hull to deck joint is sealed with 3M 5200 adhesive sealant
Hinge-up carbon-fiber reinforced helm seat with gas shock support
Composite light RTM match-molded deck locker hatches assure strict thickness controls allowing accurate gasket seal of cockpit openings. Conventional construction uses single-sided moldings with painted raw fiberglass underside.
