C&C was founded in 1969 as a public company in Canada, which resulted from a joint venture among several companies and design teams. At the peak of its market success, the company supplied 50% of the Canadian market and 20% of the US market.
The company name, C&C Yachts, came from the names of two of the founding designers, George Cuthbertson and George Cassian.
