Design

The C&C 121 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly with a vinylester-corecell and E-glass with Kevlar. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 14,600 lb (6,622 kg).[1][2]

The design had a choice of keels. There was an option of a standard keel with a draft of 6.50 ft (1.98 m) and 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) of lead ballast, a shallow draft keel with a draft of 6.00 ft (1.83 m) and 6,200 lb (2,812 kg) of lead ballast and a deep keel with a draft of 8.00 ft (2.44 m) and 5,500 lb (2,495 kg) of lead ballast.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Volvo MD 2040 diesel inboard engine. Its fuel tank holds 35 U.S. gallons (130 L; 29 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 80 U.S. gallons (300 L; 67 imp gal).[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 63 with a high of 69 and low of 54. It has a hull speed of 7.98 kn (14.78 km/h).[2]

gollark: I see.
gollark: Why have a long-term member role at all, I mean.
gollark: But why?
gollark: Plus it would be possible to experiment with forms of marriage governments don't recognize.
gollark: Anyway, see, if you abolish government-recognized marriage, then individual organizations with views on marriage can (symbolically) marry groups they agree with, and not have to deal with types of marriage they don't.
