The C&C 38 is a series of Canada 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]
Variants

- This model was introduced in 1973, with production ending in 1975. It has a length overall of 37.58 ft (11.5 m), a waterline length of 29.33 ft (8.9 m), displaces 14,700 lb (6,668 kg) and carries 4,400 lb (1,996 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 6.42 ft (1.96 m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 37 hp (28 kW) gasoline engine. The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 14 with a high of 123 and low of 102. It has a hull speed of 7.26 kn (13.45 km/h).[1][5]
- C&C 38-2
- This model was introduced in 1975, with 98 examples built. It was a development of the 38-1, optimized by C&C Chief of Design Robert W. Ball[6] for International Offshore Rule racing. It has a length overall of 37.58 ft (11.5 m), a waterline length of 29.58 ft (9.0 m). The standard keel version displaces 14,700 lb (6,668 kg) and carries 6,800 lb (3,084 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 6.08 ft (1.85 m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 37 hp (28 kW) gasoline engine. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 60 U.S. gallons (230 L; 50 imp gal). The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 114 with a high of 117 and low of 112. It has a hull speed of 7.29 kn (13.50 km/h).[7][8] In 1978 the design was developed into the Baltic 37.[9]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar YHM35F diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 60 U.S. gallons (230 L; 50 imp gal). The standard keel boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 105 with a high of 114 and low of 102. The wing keel version has an average handicap of 108 with a high of 111 and low of 108.
