The C&C 38 is a series of Canadian sailboats, that were all designed by C&C Design and first built in 1973.[1][2]

Production[]

The boats were built by C&C Yachts in Canada, but are now out of production.[1][3]

Design[]

The C&C 38 series are all a small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They all have masthead sloop rigs and internally-mounted spade-type rudders.[1]

The series includes three designs, the C&C 38 (subsequently called the 38-1 to differentiate it from the later models), the 38-2 and the 38-3. The latter boat was an entirely new design.[1]

The 38-2 was used as the basis for the Landfall 38, built with the same hull shape, but a shorter keel and rig, plus a different interior.[4]
