C&C C&C 40

In 1961, when two Canadian sailors—George Cuthbertson, a mechanical engineer, and George Cassian, an aircraft designer—formed the design group Cuthbertson and Cassian, they could not have foreseen the legacy their partnership would create. Through the years they produced quality cruising and racing vessels. By the early '80s, C&C had established itself at the forefront of the sailing industry, from both sailing results and business standpoints. Its success on the racecourse continues today. Originally a Rhode Island boat, this boat (Pocho) was purchased used in 2003 and sailed in 2004 to the Hudson River and then in 2005 was sailed through the Great Lakes by a gentleman who unexpectedly passed away in 2008. She now has been recently commissioned in the water on Lake Superior and then motored to Ashland, WI. She sleeps 7-8 crew/family members in a cabin with full standing headroom and new upholstery. Practically everything on this boat, in terms of equipment, has been replaced and is new, but there is a little unfinished work to be done and most of it is straight forward. The engine was rebuilt in 2004 and new mounts added. The starter and water pump were also replaced. The strut was rebedded and the cutlass bearing replaced as was the prop. The transmission seals are new. Shift cables were tended to. Misc hoses replaced as needed. There is a new control panel and wiring. The fuel tank has been cleaned and new filters added. She runs extremely well. All the brightwork has ten coats of varnish. The teak interior is quite beautiful. The mast has been rigged and stepped. The fresh water system has been plumbed and works with the exception of the manual pump which is a minor fix. The head works well and is plumbed. Most of the photos are before the most recent work has been completed. More up to date photos are now posted. 8/23/2010 notes: The engine starts immediately and runs very well. The shaft has recently been aligned. The owner is motivated to sell. There are teak and holly cabin floor boards, but they are not visible in the photos.
