About this yacht

SALSA is a well-presented 2004 C&C 121, a Tim Jackett-designed performance cruiser/racer that carries forward the C&C tradition of fast, responsive sailing with a level of interior comfort that makes her genuinely usable beyond the race course. The 121 is one of the more compelling forty-foot racer/cruisers of her era: light, stiff, weatherly, and efficient under sail, yet still fitted with a proper two-cabin cruising layout, a real galley, a separate head with stall shower, generator, air conditioning/heat, and thoughtful systems upgrades.

For a sailor who wants more than a pure cruising boat, SALSA stands out. Her composite construction, E-glass and Kevlar reinforcement, vinylester resin, Core-Cell foam core, bulb keel, spade rudder, powerful sail plan, and clean deck layout give her the kind of performance DNA that has long defined C&C. Control lines are led aft under the deck to keep the deck uncluttered, the cockpit is large and ergonomic, and the 52-inch wheel gives the helmsperson a commanding position for both racing and performance cruising.

SALSA has also received the kind of updates that matter. Her 2025 Carbon X-Drive mainsail and 2025 A2 asymmetrical spinnaker give her a fresh, powerful sail inventory, while the 2020 Carbon X-Drive genoa remains a major asset for performance sailing. Her B&G networked electronics suite, Fisher Panda generator, Dometic reverse-cycle air conditioning/heat, AGM battery bank, Magnum inverter/charger, recent saildrive seal replacement, and upgraded deck canvas make her a turn-key opportunity for a buyer who wants a premium C&C 121 with modern capability already in place.
