**1983 C&C Custom 41 — Frankfort, Michigan**Few names in North American yachting carry the quiet authority of C&C. Born of the legendary Canadian yard and the design pen of Robert Ball, the C&C 41 was conceived as a true performance cruiser: elegant under sail, honest in a seaway, and built with the strength and finish that made the brand a benchmark of its era. Roughly one hundred twenty-seven of these yachts left the molds — a limited, purposeful production that still draws discerning sailors who value pedigree over fashion.This 1983 Custom 41 embodies that lineage. At approximately **40'9" LOA**, with a beam of nearly **13 feet** and a displacement in the region of **17,500 lb**, she offers the presence and motion of a serious offshore-capable yacht while remaining a rewarding coastal and Great Lakes companion. Her masthead sloop rig and balanced hull form are the hallmarks of C&C’s racing-informed cruising philosophy — boats meant to be sailed, not merely motored between harbors.Thoughtful ownership has refined her further. The keel has been modified for **reduced draft with a wing**, expanding her reach into shallower anchorages and harbors without abandoning the sailing character that defines the class. In **2023** she was repowered with a **Yanmar 3JH40**, now showing approximately **110 hours** — a substantial investment that brings modern reliability, efficiency, and peace of mind under power. Her sail inventory is well considered for varied conditions: a mainsail, a #3 jib, and two light #1 genoas.As originally equipped, the C&C 41 class typically carries on the order of **20 gallons of fuel** and **60 gallons of fresh water** (configurations can vary by hull and later updates). Combined with her recent Yanmar and adaptable draft profile, she presents as a yacht prepared for comfortable passages and unhurried exploration.Located in the Frankfort, Michigan area, this C&C Custom 41 is offered for the next steward who appreciates Canadian craftsmanship, Robert Ball design, and a boat that has been meaningfully improved where it matters most.
