The C&C 29 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian as an International Offshore Rule Half Ton class racer-cruiser and first built in 1977.{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/cc-29|title = C&C 29 sailboat specifications and details|access-date = 20 May 2022|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220520115517/https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/cc-29|archive-date= 20 May 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url = http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/1180/c-c-29|title = Sailboat Specifications for C&C 29|access-date = 11 January 2017|work = Sailing Joy|author = InterVisionSoft LLC|year = 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170113110359/http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/1180/c-c-29|archive-date = 13 January 2017|url-status = dead}}{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/designer/cc-design|title = C&C Design |access-date = 11 January 2017|last= Browning| first = Randy |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2016|archive-url= https://archive.today/20210301170340/https://sailboatdata.com/designer/cc-design|archive-date= 1 March 2021|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/cc/29|title= C&C 29|access-date= 19 May 2022|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220519225428/https://sailboat.guide/cc/29|archive-date= 19 May 2022|url-status= live}}
The design was likely derived from the C&C 1/2 Ton of 1975.{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/cc-12-ton|title = C&C 1/2 Ton sailboat specifications and details|access-date = 25 April 2017|last= Browning| first = Randy |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2017|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220307182107/https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/cc-12-ton|archive-date= 7 March 2022|url-status= live}}
The boat was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the C&C 29, but is now sometimes referred to as the C&C 29-1 or C&C 29 Mark I, to differentiate it from the unrelated 1983 C&C 29-2 design which was also sold under the name C&C 29.Sherwood, Richard M.: A Field Guide to Sailboats of North America, Second Edition, pages 200-201.

Production
The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, between 1977 and 1981, with some built in the US as well at their Rhode Island plant. Over 600 boats were completed, but the design is now out of production.{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/cc-yachts|title = C&C Yachts|access-date = 7 March 2022|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20201015222748/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/cc-yachts|archive-date= 15 October 2020|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/cc|title= C&C Yachts|access-date= 19 May 2022|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220519202043/https://sailboat.guide/cc|archive-date= 19 May 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/used_sailboats/cc-29|title= C&C 29|access-date= 19 May 2022|last= Nicholson|first= Darrell|work= Practical Sailor|date= 19 May 2022|year= |archive-url= https://archive.today/20220519203409/https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/used_sailboats/cc-29|archive-date= 19 May 2022|url-status= live}}

Operational history
In a 2004 in Practical Sailor review Darrell Nicholson quoted C&C sales manager Hank Evans, who said, "while the 29 was a great success (over 600 sold) with many one- design fleets, and is a pretty good-looking boat, it left a lot to be desired from a design standpoint. It was very fast and nicely balanced in light and moderate air, but the only way to sail her in a breeze is to ease the traveler all the way down and carry the main almost fully aback. Racer/cruisers are not generally intended to be sailed like dinghies."
