There's a C&C 40 here on Lake Ontario named "Vatican II <http://www.boatdealers.ca/boats-for-sale/134805/cc-40-custom-centerboard-belleville-ontario>" that's been for sale for a while. It's a centerboard model and nicely outfitted for cruising. Any connection? Has a big crucifix on both sides. Not really my cup of tea but unique anyway.
