Hi guys, I visited Corsica during my vacations in September. Walking along the docks in Calvi, I was surprised by a familiar boat design, Watching more closely, yes, this is a C&C 37, but not really looking exactly like a Canadian one. I chatted with the owner who confirmed that is was a C&C 37

I love hearing about a boat who's name is well known and never changed through different owners. In the 27-5 there is Smoke, the prototype mark 5 which was sailed very hard for its first season to see what kind of performance they could squeeze out of the design. She's rumoured to be the fastes

The "i" dimension is shown as 43 feet, which is essentially truck to deck. Add the measurement for deck to water and you have air draft. (Plus stuff like Windex, VHF antenna, etc.). At a wild guess I would think air draft would be something approaching 50 feet. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk I
