The C&C 27 Mk V is a recreational keelboat built by C&C Yachts. It was a new design, originally marketed as the "new C&C 27", but is now usually referred to as the Mark V to differentiate it from the earlier C&C 27.[2]

More than 300 were built from 1984 to 1987,[3] both in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Canada and in C&C's plant in the United States.

Designed by the C&C Design Group led by Neil Gilbert, the Mark V was introduced to refresh the 1970s styling[4] of the earlier C&C 27 series and also to improve the manufacturing profitability of the boat. The previous C&C 27 series cost as much to build as the larger C&C boats, but commanded a lower retail price.[1]

It has a solid fibreglass hull and a fixed keel, available in standard fin and shoal draft. The design features a raked stem, a revers transom and a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller. The fin keel version displaces 4,420 lb (2,005 kg) and carries 1,715 lb (778 kg) of lead ballast with a draft of 4.83 ft (1.47 m). The shoal draft keel version displaces 5,080 lb (2,304 kg) with 2,075 lb (941 kg) of ballast and 3.5 ft (1.1 m) of draft.[2]

It has a masthead rig with a tall, single-spreader deck-stepped mast.[3] It has a PHRF racing average handicap of 174 with a spinnaker and 192 without.[1]

The cockpit has benches over 6 feet long, and cabin headroom is 70 inches.[3]
