While we’re on the subject of custom C&C race boats does anyone know anything about this one?
It looks like a 38 MK I or II hull with a mostly flush deck and racing cabin layout. At first I thought it might be the One Tonner but the deck layout in the pictures is quite different than in the magazine ad that I have a scan of. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1975/C%26C-38-2744779/Canada#.VGEhiclMpD4 Rick Taillieu Nemesis '75 C&C 25 #371 Shearwater Yacht Club Halifax, NS.

Thanks so much. My next stop is IOR ton rating. Had no clue… I wonder now how many and for how long C&C made these custom class-racers.

In short, the term “ton” was based on an IOR rating band that allowed IOR boats to race “one design”. IIRC the popular “ton” classes were: ¼. ½, ¾, 1, and 2. Sailing Anarchy has had several recent topics that cover IOR and “Ton” racing well. Calypso would have rated as a 2 tonner. A J-24 sized boat would be close to a ¼ tonner. Today there is a resurgence of ton class racing with ¼ and ½ ton regattas being well attended. Boats that had been neglected for years are being resurrected, modernized and raced hard. Back in the heyday of IOR racing I had the opportunities to race extensively on ¾, 1, and 2 ton class boats. The racing was tight and fun. We used bloopers. In the PNW town of Bellingham a regatta called PITCH (Pacific International Ton Championship) was started in the early 80’s. The racing was as intense as the partying. Protest meeting often went past dinner time. Martin Calypso 1971 C&C 43 Seattle
