If fast is fun, then sailing a C&C 99 will be more fun than you've had in a long time. She's a 32-footer that is race-ready with family and friends and cruise worthy in civilized fashion, with undeniably rakish styling and a daring cockpit and deck layout. This is one sporty speedster...we'll understand completely when you order your hull in fire-engine-red.
Just a few numbers say a lot about the C&C 99's performance. The sail area-to-displacement ratio is 21.5, the righting moment is 883 foot pounds per degree, the J (foretriangle) dimension is 13 feet, and the area of the spinnaker, courtesy of an oversize 14-foot, 6-inch pole, is 1,026 square feet. Other vital ingredients of the speed recipe include an easily-driven canoe body with minimum wetted surface; a near-plumb bow to maximize waterline; a deep, balanced spade rudder; a high-lift-foil keel for windward efficiency. Sailors all over the country have noticed how quick the C&C 99 isshe won her class at Key West Race Week, and both Cruising World and SAIL magazine selected the C&C 99 as one of the best boats of the year.
