C&amp;C 27C&amp;C 27 C&C 27 The C&C 27 is a family of Canadian sailboats, that was designed by Robert W. Ball and first built in 1970. The design is out of production. Production. The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, with some also produced in the United States. The design was developed into the Trapper 500 and built in the UK. An "unauthorized copy" was built in Austria as the Korneuburg 27 (K 27). Design. The C&C 27 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with a balsa core deck. It has a masthead sloop rig and a fixed  fin keel. The first four variants (or "Marks") of the C&C 27 are refinements of the original design; the C&C 27 Mk V is a different design. Operational history. In a review of C&C's best and worst boats, Doug Hunter wrote, "It shared many of the [C&C] 35's admirable qualities. Most notable were its phenomenally solid construction and incredible stability. It was not an outstanding performer upwind, but was a great reacher, which suited cruisers just fine. All in all, a terrific cruiser that still attracted a racing following." In a review, Practical Sailor wrote, "this fast and  handsome racer/cruiser from the 1970s is an excellent example of what made C&C Yachts such a successful company." See also.
