What the fleet has seen

The C&C Yachts 99, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The C&C Yachts 99 is a masthead sloop designed by Tim Jackett and built by C&C Yachts from 2002 to the present. It features a fin keel with a bulb and a spade rudder, measuring 9.91 meters LOA, 3.30 meters beam, and displacing 4202 kg. Early models were delivered with aluminum spars, but later boats standardized on carbon spars and a 1.68-meter draft keel, replacing an earlier optional deeper 6.5-foot draft. C&C Yachts, founded in Ontario, established a reputation for performance-oriented production sailboats by integrating lightweight fiberglass construction with competitive racing designs, utilizing balsa-cored hulls to increase stiffness and reduce weight.1:36
