I hope this ends the "if you wanted *that feature* you should buy a Tartan" design work! When I talked to them at shows years ago they seemed conflicted about where C&C fit in with the Tartan line.

Well I have to say that from my experience the now former C&C owners did a nice job building and designing the 99 and 115. I have sailed a lot on both and they are very nice boats! I hope the new line reflects the inspiration that was there when the 99 initially launched.

I know the Randy Borges well and he is a talented guy. He race-prepped my Shields and J/80, making them pretty embarrassing to sail, as everyone then knew it was me who made the boats go slow. He will do a good job with the C&C brand. I'm excited to see what they come up with. On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 11:47 AM, Jerome Tauber <jrtau...@aol.com<mailto:jrtau...@aol.com>> wrote: Fascinating. Probably for the better. C&C had a plant in Rhode Island under the original Canadian company. My boat was built there. These are the builders of Alerion. I wonder if this is Tillerston Pearson who made the J boats and how C&C will fit in. Sounds encouraging though as Fairport was a dead end for C&C. Jerry.

Terms were not disclosed. "We are extremely excited to carry on the traditions established by the legendary Canadian boatbuilders who introduced C&C Yachts some 50 years ago," says Randy Borges, president of USWatercraft, in a statement. "We look forward to building high-quality and competitively priced C&C sailboats, at our 100,000 square ft facility." Tartan said it will no longer produce the C&C 101 and 115 models under the C&C brand, but will build them under the Tartan brand. Tartan owner Steve Malbasa said in the statement he was "pleased" to have USWatercraft take over the development of the C&C line. USWatercraft will also handle servicing C&C owners. "At the same time, we can remain laser-focused on marketing, distributing and building the iconic Tartan brand and supporting our loyal Tartan owners throughout the world," Malbasa added. USWatercraft builds the Alerion, Rip North and True North boat brands, and last year acquired detailed records of 13,000 J-Boats. The company said it would be able to offer parts to those sailboats. USWatercraft said it will begin production of new C&C models this autumn. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com<mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com> _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com<mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com> -- Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Ave Newport, RI USA 02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ phone +401 965 5260
