Description
Fast, Sturdy, and Exceptionally Well-Built – BREAKAWAY is a Standout Value!
BREAKAWAY is a prime example of C&C’s legendary racer/cruiser pedigree. Designed for performance and comfort, she strikes the perfect balance between spirited sailing and extended cruising capability. Built during the golden age of Canadian yacht construction, this C&C 37 remains a benchmark for robust engineering and quality craftsmanship.
