Definitely looks to be a 38 hull! Maybe this is the mysterious Mk1 38! A lot of us 38 owners are puzzled by the Mk1 vs Mk2 differences and I think that I remember someone commenting that C&C made a series of custom 1 ton racers that constituted the Mk1 class and the Mk2 were the production version of the same design. The boat in the listing looks just like my boat but the specs are a little different, LOA 38 vs my 37’7”, LWL 28’4” versus my 29’7”, raft 6’5” vs my 6’1”, and beam 12’2” vs my 12’0”. Curious....

It looks like a 38 MK I or II hull with a mostly flush deck and racing cabin layout. At first I thought it might be the One Tonner but the deck layout in the pictures is quite different than in the magazine ad that I have a scan of. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1975/C%26C-38-2744779/Canada#.VGEhiclMpD4 Rick Taillieu Nemesis '75 C&C 25 #371 Shearwater Yacht Club Halifax, NS.

Thanks so much. My next stop is IOR ton rating. Had no clue… I wonder now how many and for how long C&C made these custom class-racers.

In short, the term “ton” was based on an IOR rating band that allowed IOR boats to race “one design”. IIRC the popular “ton” classes were: ¼. ½, ¾, 1, and 2. Sailing Anarchy has had several recent topics that cover IOR and “Ton” racing well. Calypso would have rated as a 2 tonner. A J-24 sized boat would be close to a ¼ tonner. Today there is a resurgence of ton class racing with ¼ and ½ ton regattas being well attended. Boats that had been neglected for years are being resurrected, modernized and raced hard. Back in the heyday of IOR racing I had the opportunities to race extensively on ¾, 1, and 2 ton class boats. The racing was tight and fun. We used bloopers. In the PNW town of Bellingham a regatta called PITCH (Pacific International Ton Championship) was started in the early 80’s. The racing was as intense as the partying. Protest meeting often went past dinner time.
