ZCC has never been used in the U.S. at any time for any C&C boat. The
sequence is very simple. C&C Canada was CCY until the U.S Plant went
into operation. At that moment, C&C Canada became ZCC and the U.S plant
was assigned CCY. The U.S plant went into operation February 1976. So,
in short, all boats that have ZCC are Canadian without exception, and
were made after February 1976. Boats with CCY were built in Canada only
until February 1976. From February 1976 onward, any boat that has CCY is
a Rhode Island Boat, and any boat withh ZCC was built in Canada after
February 1976.
That is the beginning, middle and end of the story. Please write it down
in your owners manual for the next time this comes up on the list. :-)
Someone brought up Calder Industries, which NOW has CCY assigned to it
as a manufacturers code. It has NO connection to C&C, and did not build
any C&C boats. Completely unrelated and unimportant to us. These numbers
are assigned to companies by governments. When a company goes out of
business as C&C did, the manufacturer code may eventually be reassigned
just like a old telephone number.

There were no C&C 35 MKII"s built after 1975, so if the RI facility
opened in 1976 that opening had nothing to do with some 35 MKII's
having hull numbers starting with CCY and others starting with ZCC. I
think the RI plant opened in feb 1974, can anyone confirm that? If
Feb 1974 then the opening of the RI facility which got the ZCC
designation while at the same time the Canadian facility got CCY
designation in place of ZCC which it used up until the RI facility
opened would explain the 35 MKII hull numbers.
