Good morning. Grab a coffee (or two), sit back, relax, and read a little about the storied C&C's of the past.
This week's installment, the ultimate C&C - *Archangel* - the C&C 67 This is an example of what C&C (and our very own Rob Ball) could do, when allowed to stretch their wings a bit. [image: Archangel-Thumb.jpg] Robert Ball was a member of the 'Design Panel' at the C&C Yachts Living History Conference, held at the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club at Hamilton, Ontario, on April 15th of 2012. Each panel member was asked to choose what they felt were C&C Yacht's top three designs and to discuss these with the panel and audience. Rob Ball chose Michael Davies' 67 foot schooner *Archangel*, in part because the design and building of her took two years of his design career, but more importantly because she sailed so many miles, with so many great people, and her success was further reinforced by being purchased by Sir Peter Blake, probably the finest sailor in the world at that time. *https://c-c-37-40.blogspot.com/p/c-67.html <https://c-c-37-40.blogspot.com/p/c-67.html>* If you find the article interesting and want to read more, there is an article included at that link about Archangel from Yachting, September 1981, and if you want more, when you get to the bottom you can click on an article from Canadian Yachting Magazine, from Archangel's launch in 1980.
