1982 C&C 37 "U No Who" for Sale in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Meet U No Who, a beautifully kept 1982 C&C 37 — one of the most celebrated designs to come out of C&C Yachts' golden era. Drawn by Rob Ball, C&C's legendary chief designer, the 37 was built to do what few boats can: race hard on Saturday and cruise comfortably on Sunday. Fewer than 110 were ever built, and clean examples like this one don't come up often.
A fresh 2022 survey backs up what a walkthrough tells you: excellent hull condition top to bottom, no osmosis, no blistering, no sign of grounding damage, and a solid, play-free spade rudder. The sail inventory is essentially like-new — the current suit is a newer replacement, still crisp in its original bags. Add a well-sorted electronics package, solar charging, and a diesel forced-air heater for shoulder-season comfort, and this is a boat that's ready to sail, not restore.
