CYOB Inbox: More on the C&C Custom 44R

C&C 44

Nov 7, 2019

Hi, I’m wondering if you can pass along my email to Rob Maurice regarding the C&C 44 custom (see CYOB October 24 edition.) I own the 1988 one as I believe they only made one a year. I have a lot of questions that I’m hoping Rob may be able to help answer…

This is my 1988 C&C 44 custom, I believe she was originally named Smiling Bulldog. I really don’t know much about her history.

It originally had hydraulics throughout but that rig was replaced by a Klacko rig with a 67ft mast, an open transom and an 8.5ft draught.

There are pipe births aft of the companionway, and large Vberth forward. 

She has a Yanmar 44 4jhe and I really wish I knew more.

I sail out of port Elgin, ON but I keep her in Bayfield, ON over the winter.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
