Rick,
The Mk1 stopped production in 1977 and the Mk2 went into production in 1980
as a '81 model year boat, my dad bought his in the fall of 1980.
The prototype Mk2 had a serious trim issue when it was launched (4" down by
the bow).
As an interim measure C&C built the first 6 Mk2's (#556 - #561) with the
original Mk1 keel.
Starting with # 562 the keel sump was moved aft 5" to re-establish the
proper trim attitude.
C&C introduced a number of improvements throughout the run of the Mk2, a
couple of the most notable are:
-from #573 a number of engineering changes to reinforce
various structural areas.
-from #685 the archway in the main bulkhead was lowered and
a teak beam was added above the arch to add more support for the mast step.
There are some interesting things in the information that I have.
C&C was always looking for ways to cut the production costs of the Mk2
compared to the Mk1.
Some of the suggestions brought up were to change the hull/deck joint to
something easier to assemble, cut out the shelves in the cockpit lockers,
Use modular sections from the 24 or the Mega for the galley and icebox
areas.
Luckily most of the more drastic suggestions weren't put into production.
Cheers

I, myself, am curious about the transition point between the Mk1 and Mk2.
All of the brochures on the Photo Album website are for Mk2s, and differ
slightly from the spec information in the Technical Information page - which
appear to be information for the Mk1. There are, however some visual cues to
tell the two models apart.
25 Mk1:
Has no bridge deck
Has locker at the aft end of the cockpit
Companionway goes down to about 3" above cockpit sole
Has aluminum frame windows
Has oak beam spanning the top of the cabin bulkhead to support the mast
Has a rectangular pedestal type cabin table
Technical Information (and data I got with my boat when purchased in '94)
shows draft of 3'10"
25 Mk2:
Has a bridge deck
Has no locker at the transom
Smaller companionway
Glued in plexi oportlights
Cockpit bulkhead has a round topped door opening, and the arch of the
bulkhead supports the mast
Cabin table is pedestal mounted, but one side folds down to ease access
forward
Brochures show draft of 4'3" and also show the boat weighs about 100 pounds
more than the specs for the Mk1
In the 19 years I've owned my boat, I can't recall anyone ever mentioning a
shoal keel model, and I don't see it listed on the option sheet I got with
my builders file or on the Photo Album.
Can anyone say when the break was between the Mk1 and Mk2, either the month
and year or the hull number.
My boat is HIN 225 and definitely a Mk1.

What mk would a 1981 CnC 25 full keel be?
What about a 1982 CnC25 shoal draft keel?
This is a test!
