I have two boats - a 25 with HIN beginning in CCY and a 38 with HIN beginning with ZCC - and I bought the build files for both of them from South Shore.
The file on the 25 has customs paperwork for shipment to a dealer in NJ from C&C Yachts in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. Interestingly, the file on the 38 also has customs paperwork for shipment from C&C Yachts to a dealer in MI through Detroit. And there is paperwork for EXPORT from the US through Niagara Falls, NY. That leads me to believe that the 38 was built in Rhode Island, shipped to Niagara-on-the-Lake for the addition of optional equipment (there is a list of stuff like the backstay adjuster and the custom length spin pole and reaching strut attached to the Detroit paperwork), and then sent on to the selling dealer. So I would presume that CCY was the code for Canada, and ZCC was the code for Rhode Island. But someone has told me that the 25's were built in Rhode Island; so I am confused here. A search of the USCG Manufacturer ID database at http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic1.aspx?mic=zcc <http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic1.aspx?mic=zcc&sort=mic> &sort=mic shows ZCC to be NOTL, but CCY belongs to another manufacturer. Maybe they reassign the code numbers after a period of unused.

I'm very close to purchasing a 38 Landfall and am wondering if it was constructed in Ontario or Rhode Island. It is a 1983 vintage and have been told that you can tell by looking at the Hull #. What am I looking for in the hull # ? Also, can anyone tell me if there is a significant difference in the quality of build between the boats built in RI and those built in Ontario? Any other advice? I have sailed many different C&C's (33R, 38 Mark II, 37R, 40, 115) and like them all. Just want to be an informed buyer.
