The C&C 1/2 Ton is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by C&C Design as an International Offshore Rule Half Ton class racer.[1][2][3]
The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada as a made-to-order, semi-custom built limited edition boat between 1975 and 1980, with only 12 examples completed, but it is now out of production.[1]
The C&C 1/2 Ton design was most likely the inspiration for the C&C 29 of 1977.[1]

The C&C 1/2 Ton is a small racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,400 lb (2,903 kg).[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the standard keel.[1]
