The C&C 25 is a series of Canadian sailboats, first built in 1973.
The boat series was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production.
C&C also produced the unrelated C&C 25 Redline design.
Dick and Irene Steffen had owned a yacht dealership for C&C Yachts, that was located in Pointe Claire, Quebec. The dealership had done good business selling C&C boats, but the C&C line did not offer a boat smaller than the C&C 27 at that time. Dick Steffen was a competitive sailing racer and thought that there would be a good market for a C&C 24 foot keelboat. At his request C&C designed the boat, but decided not to proceed with production. Steffen bought the design from C&C, founding Mirage Yachts in February 1972 to build the design. The Mirage 24 sold well and quickly established a strong racing record in Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) class events. Caught off guard by the success of the boat, C&C decided to design a competitor, which they named the C&C 25, that was very similar to the Mirage 24's design.
The C&C 25 designs are both a small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They have masthead sloop rigs, transom-hung rudders and fixed fin keels.
