Design
The C&C 53 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass with balsawood cores. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted scimitar-shaped, spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a highly swept, fixed fin keel. It displaces 41,312 lb (18,739 kg).[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 8.00 ft (2.44 m) with the standard keel installed. The design is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-107 diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW) for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 8.37 kn (15.50 km/h).[3]
