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.

Just when you thought you might never see the Galley Guys again, there they were waving from the flying bridge of a Le Boat Horizon 3 gliding down the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in the sun. Glorious!

In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
