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.

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.

USWatercraft acquires rights to build C&C Yachts

Production of the C&C line will move from Ohio to Rhode Island

USWatercraft in Warren, Rhode Island, has reached an agreement with Tartan 
Marine Company to build and develop all models of the C&C Yachts brand. 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.
