Racer/Cruiser
Two couch-type seats in salon making into two single bunks
V-berth
Drop-leaf table in salon
Marine head and holding tank
20 gallon potable water tank with sink
Very stable with near 2:1 D/W ratio, but may need reef in winds greater than 20k for comfort.

Purchased in September, Salied her until mid-Nov in Long Island Sound.
Re-built the IB Vire 7 in October.
Plenty of power, but motor is not trustworthy.
Sails easy, fast. Plenty of room below, for those that like to go below.

Just finished my second season sailing this boat on Buzzards Bay. Cockpit is a bit cozy for more than 4 adults but there is plenty of space down below. Almost stand up headroom for the vertically challenged in the cabin. The boat sails nicely in a firm breeze and has surprising stability above 20 knots. This is a masthead rig and most of the power comes from the headsail. Mine has been re-powered with a 9.9hp outboard and the stern needed some additional bracing to support the extra weight. Still using the electric start and the throttle controls which make motoring much more comfortable. Keep and eye on deck moisture as cored decks can be a problem on these C&C yachts of this era. Currently using Thurston Sails but would like to hear about alternatives, North, Doyle, etc.

Our third season on the boat and have found the boat to very forgiving. While the sails are in poor shape she still sails quite well. The Vire engine, either you love em or hate em. Ours has been very reliable once I had sorted out a couple of problems. Lots of room for my wife and I with room to spare for friends. Points well into the wind and sails nicely in 20-25 knot winds. Consider its age, it is in very good condition. C&C's have a good reputation for quality and workmanship and this boat is no exception. A lot of boat for the money!

We've sailed our C&C 25 for 4 years now and have found it to be a great sailor and an adequate weekender. it has about all you could expect for a 25 below decks. the vire 7 has actually been a great little motor (pay attention to vacuum leaks) and when in doubt get the carb rebuilt, and install new gasline.
This boat really shines when sailing, very stiff for a 25 footer, responsive and a blast to sail when the wind pipes up. this boat will take care of you under a lot of conditions.
