Design
    
The C&C 42 Custom is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed swept fin keel. It displaces 20,000 lb (9,072 kg).[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 7.00 ft (2.13 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][3]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3JH3E diesel engine of 40 hp (30 kW). The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 80 U.S. gallons (300 L; 67 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 78 with a high of 71 and low of 81. It has a hull speed of 7.84 kn (14.52 km/h).[3][5]
