Finally there is a racer/cruiser with speed to burn and two luxurious staterooms for great cruising. There's no secret to the C&C 121's speed. The masthead rig spreads an impressive 846 square feet of working sail, which works out to a zippy sail area-to-displacement ratio of 23.2. To turn sail area into speed, choose from an array of keel options—the 8-foot Deep Fin, 6-foot, 6-inch Standard Fin, or 4-foot Shoal Draft Bulb. Harken winches, blocks, and deck hardware is sited in all the right places and when you're at the helm, you'll appreciate the responsiveness of the Lewmar rack-and-pinion steering and that the self-tailing primary winches are within easy reach.
