1986 C&C 33 mkII for Sale – Performance Cruiser Listing
Location: Whitby, Ontario (Lake Ontario)
Brokerage: Breezeway Yachts (Toronto, Ontario)
The Legacy of C&C Yachts
C&C Yachts stands as a titan in Canadian maritime history, renowned globally for pioneering the production of high-performance racer-cruisers. Founded in 1969 by George Cuthbertson and George Cassian, the builder quickly became synonymous with robust build quality, innovative fiberglass construction, and lines that looked fast even at the dock. Their legendary "C&C design" combined a competitive racing pedigree with comfortable accommodations, making them the defining choice for sailors across the Great Lakes and North America who refused to compromise on speed or safety.
Investing in a classic C&C Yacht means owning a piece of premium Canadian heritage. Built locally in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, these vessels were engineered specifically to handle the chopping waters of Lake Ontario and the variable conditions of coastal cruising. Decades later, C&C Yachts remain highly sought-after on the brokerage market due to their enduring structural integrity, iconic balsa-core hulls, and a passionate community of owners that ensures these classic sailboats maintain excellent resale value.
The C&C 33 mkII: A Perfect Balance of Speed and Comfort
The 1986 C&C 33 mkII represents the absolute pinnacle of C&C’s mid-sized cruiser design evolution. Striking the ideal balance between a spirited club racer and a comfortable weekend family cruiser, the mkII variant features an updated hull shape and a highly efficient keel-stepped mast configuration. It is designed to track beautifully, point high into the wind, and provide a stable, confidence-inspiring ride under sail, making it a favorite for single-handed sailing or full-crew racing on the Great Lakes.
On deck, the C&C 33 mkII boasts a clean, ergonomic layout optimized for efficient sail handling. This particular model comes equipped with premium rod rigging throughout, newer running rigging, and a cockpit-mounted traveller that places mainsail control right at your fingertips. The deep, secure cockpit features a dodger and bimini enclosure (with new windows updated in 2024), offering excellent protection from the elements during extended passages across Lake Ontario or weekend trips to the Toronto Islands.
Step down the companionway, and you are welcomed by an exceptionally bright and airy salon that feels much larger than its 32' 5" length suggests. The clever 10' 5" beam is maximized to offer full standing headroom, rich wood cabinetry, and upgraded LED interior lighting. Comfort is prioritized throughout the cabin with updated cushion fabrics, a large salon table with drop-leaves for entertaining, a dedicated navigation desk, and a Dickinson propane cabin heater that extends your Canadian sailing season well into the crisp autumn months.
Auxiliary power is delivered by a highly reliable, fresh-water cooled Yanmar 2GM20F marine diesel engine that has been consistently maintained. The vessel’s mechanical and electrical systems have seen significant, high-value preventative updates over the last two seasons, including a new engine impeller, a new dripless shaft seal, and a fresh deep-cycle house battery. For a discerning sailor looking for a turnkey, freshwater racer-cruiser in Ontario, this C&C 33 mkII is fully found and ready for its next captain.
