The C&C 3/4 Ton is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Robert W. Ball as an International Offshore Rule Three-Quarter Ton class racer and first built in 1974.[1][2] [3]

The design was developed into the C&C 33-1 later in 1974, using the same hull design and sailplan.[1][3]

Production

The boat was built on a "semi custom" basis by C&C Yachts in Canada and they completed 15 examples in 1974.[1][3][4]
