Hank, Eric’s son Mark is now running the business, and doing custom boats still, both power and sail – usually Mark Ellis designs ( a C&C alumni). He also does custom work, I had him make the new teak hand rails for our C&C a couple of years ago, he does beautiful work. My sister has had him do a bunch of work on her C&C 30, Her table should be in a Better Homes and Gardens show house!
Good friends have a power boat built by him that is also beautiful. The old building is still there, and may be vacant by now – the City now owns the property, and runs the docks along Bronte Creek.

Eric Bruckmann's plant was one of the original 4 entities merged to create C&C Yachts. Eric was a brilliant, old school master boatwright who was willing to try new technology, although sometimes grudgingly. He would grouse and grumble, but get it done. He did almost all the prototype work and built all the custom boats. He also built some of the wood plugs from which production tooling was made. There simply wasn't anything in the boat building business at the time, that our custom plant could not do. With boats like "Red Jacket", the Canada's Cupper "Evergreen" and the MEGA with its bullet proof windows, what came out of that plant was cutting edge, state of the art technology. They were making reality out of the creative ideas coming from the industry's brightest design office of the time. I found excuses to stop by there quite often. I'd always visit with David Gee who was plant manager and Eric to see what was going on then wander around the plant asking questions and observing. There was always something new and different happening, things to be seen and learned. For someone who loved boats, it was like a kid visiting a candy store.

The basic hull shape is the same as the 38-2. If memory serves, all the 38's were built at NOTL and all the Landfalls at RI.
