DESCRIPTION:

The C&C 35-3 is the pinnacle of the racer/cruiser genre of sailboats. Including all of the comforts necessary for a long-term stay and the agility and speed to impress on the racecourse.

This particular 35-3 has had great success on the racecourse placing 3rd in the CYC Mac Race Cruising section and multiple podium finishes on various Chicago based events including the Helly Hansen Noods, Tri-State and Bi-State Regattas, Waukegan Races and many more; a proven race winner.

Also outfitted for cruising, she includes a bimini and custom cockpit tent, 400AH house battery bank with provisions to easily add solar, inverter, stove and even a refrigerator!

She is one of, if not the most upgraded C&C 35-3 around and well cared for. A complete equipment list is below but a few notable upgrades include:

1) Full suite of Raymarine electronics and instruments on a NMEA2000 network including 12″ chartplotter

2) Filtered and pressurized water drawn straight from the lake so no storage tanks needed

3) Cockpit seating covered in teak-look eva foam for comfort (in addition to removable cushions)

4) Converted to asymmetric spinnakers with retractable sprit (original pole and hardware still available.)

The boat is on the hard for the 2023/24 winter in Chicago on her own cradle. Bottom has already been painted and she is ready for launch with yard fees paid.
