A Nepean Sailing Club member, Ross Ernst, recently reached out to me with a fascinating email and a really cool map. With his permission, I am pleased to share a slightly-edited version of his message below.
Check out this Google Map I put together showing all of the active C&C 27s (MKs 1-4) racing in Canada in 2025.
The interactive map shows all of the actively-raced C&C 27s, including their location, club, fleet size by club, and lists details for each boat, including their sail number, boat name, and owner, where available. I've also included links to each club's website. There are a lot of sailing clubs in Canada!
This is actually a by-product of a couple of large data-centric projects I started over the winter, mostly for my intellectual curiosity. Not sure what useful conclusions might be drawn yet, but perhaps more on that later. In the meantime, I thought the C&C 27 sailors might be interested in what I've collected thus far.
Boats were included in my count if in 2025 they met one or more of the following criteria:
the boat held an annually-renewable PHRF certificate (eg. PHRF-BC, PHRF-MB, PHRF-LE, PHRF-LO, PHRF-NS, etc.; SLVYRA does not make this information available for boats in QC).
the boat actively raced in club races, or
the boat participated in any regatta.
As noted above, this analysis only looked at boats and clubs in Canada.
Data from various sources was used, including PHRF databases, results for club races and other regattas, and Google searches.
A quick summary for the C&C 27s for 2025:
I counted ~83 C&C 27s across the country that raced, making the C&C 27 essentially tied with Tanzer 22s for the second most boats; the Shark class has the most boat that are actively raced.
C&C 27s are one of the most widely distributed classes throughout the country, present in 7/10 provinces and 1 territory, with the majority in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces.
There were C&C 27s actively racing at 42 clubs.
Thanks very much, Ross, for sharing that info.
