All About Your C&C 30
Rig Specifications
These are the specifications provided by the designers, but even from the factory, these boats may not be identical. The reason for this is that the sail industry often contracts manufacturing to different sources in order to achieve economies of scale. What this means is – your C&C 30 may be more unique than you initially thought.
It’s important to note that boats are also frequently customized, so if you suspect that work has been done on yours, it’s best to take your own measurements. When ordering a sail, we will advise you if using the manufacturer’s specifications is appropriate, or if we require you to complete our own measurement forms.

Sail Plan
The rigging of the C&C 30 plays a crucial role in its overall performance. This sailboat offers a fractional rig, where the forestay does not extend to the top of the mast, allowing for a more versatile sail plan. This rig type provides a balance between upwind performance and downwind control, enabling the boat to efficiently handle a variety of wind angles and strengths. The mast and boom are made of a lightweight carbon fibre, which is a notable feature of this boat. Lastly, the C&C 30 also offers a dual helm setup positioned at the aft end of the cockpit, which enhances visibility, control and responsiveness.
Performance
The C&C 30’s hull shape, featuring a fine entry bow and optimized chime design, reduces resistance and allows for smoother and faster sailing. The lightweight composite construction ensures a high power-to-weight ratio and enables the boat to accelerate quickly. The responsive steering and advanced sail controls enhance its handling, making it a joy to sail in any situation.
