[1][2][3] The Landfall series was part of a trend within C&C Yachts to develop more cruising-oriented designs under company president George Cuthbertson's direction during the later 1970s and early 1980s.
[4] The design was built by the Canadian company, C&C Yachts, at their Rhode Island, United States plant, between 1979 and 1984, but it is now out of production.
It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised, near-vertical transom, a skeg-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.
The galley has two stainless steel sinks, a gimbal-mounted three-burner alcohol stove and an oven and a large ice box.
One thing I did observe during the close haul, was a slight side ways slip, which is directly related to the shoal keel.
