Yes, this is the actual boat that won the 2011 Chicago Mac!
This gorgeous C&C 43 was the last one to leave the original custom shop in 1974. The legendary C&C 43s built by Bruckmann are outstandingly strong, powerful and fast boats.
This iconic racer/cruiser has been completely rebuilt inside and out in 2003 then again in 2011. The rebuilds were completed at Bruckmann Yachts with the same attention to detail as the original build with all the added features the modern yacht owner is looking for. Go to the Bruckmann website under the refits to take a look.
With unsurpassed quality and craftsmanship, this is a sight to be seen. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to continue a life changing journey through the South Pacific or as a showpiece at your home port.

Accommodations
Salon & Settee
The Usual Suspect's interior is light, bright and spacious. The salon seats six comfortably around a collapsible mahogany dining table, which converts to a larger than queen size bed, with the additional option of flipping up the outboard back rest to a sea berth with a lee cloth for more accommodations. There is ample storage under the entire salon seating.
Across, from the salon is is a settee with a long bench that also flips up to form a sea berth or for storage at sea, underneath is a extra long single.
V-Birth
Extra attention was made in redesigning the v-birth ensuring the bunk is very large. A king size fitted sheet is required to accommodate the width at the aft end of the bunk. Forward of the birth is an extra large locker for storage and the chain locker forward of that. Under either side of the berth are two integral fresh water tanks with a large area for storage in the center. To port is a hanging locker and starboard has a set of cupboards with a small night table.
Pilot Berth
The port aft pilot berth is a comfortable spot to accommodate up to two people and is open to the rest of the salon.
Head
The head is located on the aft starboard side of the v-birth. It is a good sized space with plenty of storage in the counter and above the head itself.
Galley
The galley is aft and to starboard and is quite open for entertaining while people are gathered in the salon or you can easily carry on a conversation with your guests in the cockpit while you cook! The aft bulkhead has a large hatch to facilitate communications and to pass drinks and food.
