C&C 1/2 Ton
Description
The C&C 1/2 Ton (also styled as C&C 1/2 Ton or C&C Half Ton) is a rare, semi-custom International Offshore Rule (IOR) Half Ton class racer from C&C Yachts in Canada, designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian (C&C Design Group) in 1975. It was a limited-edition, made-to-order boat (only about 12 hulls built between 1975 and 1980), focused on competitive offshore racing under the IOR Half Ton rule (boats rated around 22–25 ft IOR). The design featured a flush deck, stripped-down interior for weight savings, and high-performance characteristics—making it a pure racer with minimal cruising amenities. This model served as the basis for the more production-oriented C&C 29 (introduced in 1977), which adapted the hull and rig concepts for broader appeal as a racer-cruiser.
