The C&C 35 Mk III strikes an ideal balance between performance and practicality. Large enough to deliver confident sailing characteristics and comfortable cruising accommodations, yet compact enough to be handled with ease by a couple, it remains one of the most versatile cruiser-racers of its era. Designed by renowned naval architect Robert W. (Rob) Ball, the Mk III was introduced as a clean, modern evolution of the earlier C&C 35 series. Built during the early to mid-1980s, it was created for sailors seeking spirited performance under sail without sacrificing the comfort and functionality needed for weekend escapes or extended coastal cruising. The C&C 35 Mk III excels in both roles, offering rewarding sailing performance alongside a practical, well-appointed interior. If you're looking for a proven design that continues to stand the test of time, this is a yacht well deserving of your consideration.
