1985 C&C 33 Mk II – Indefatigable

Well-Maintained Racer/Cruiser with Extensive Cruising & Racing History

Indefatigable, affectionately known as “Indy,” is a 1985 C&C 33 Mk II that has been cherished by the same owners since 1994. During their 30+ years of ownership, she has been enjoyed extensively for cruising and club racing, including three cruises to Georgian Bay and the North Channel, numerous vacations throughout the Thousand Islands, and years of PHRF racing on Lake Ontario.

Now being offered for sale only because her owners are finding less time to use her, Indy represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a proven C&C 33 Mk II with a substantial history of ownership, cruising, racing, and ongoing upgrades.

With her comfortable cruising accommodations, capable sailing performance, extensive inventory, and well-equipped navigation and electrical systems, Indy is equally suited to weekend cruising, extended Great Lakes adventures, or the occasional day on the racecourse.

Her PHRF-LO rating is 132 FS.
