Design[edit]

The C&C 48 Custom is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 28,100 lb (12,746 kg) and carries 12,750 lb (5,783 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 7.25 ft (2.21 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][3]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4108 diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW). The fuel tank holds 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 150 U.S. gallons (570 L; 120 imp gal).[1][3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 60 with a high of 66 and low of 57. It has a hull speed of 8.37 kn (15.50 km/h).[3][5]
