C&C 27 Mk V
The C&C 27 Mk V, or Mark V, is a recreational keelboat built by C&C Yachts starting in 1984, and is now out of production. It was a new design, unrelated to the C&C 27 Mark I, II, III and IV. It was originally marketed as the "new C&C 27", but is now usually referred to as the Mark V to differentiate it from the earlier 27.
Some were built in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Canada. At the time C&C was Canada's largest boat builder. Others were built in Rhode Island, United States.
The C&C 26 Wave is derived from the Mk V, but with a wing keel and shorter mast.
