Upbeat is one of the fastest and most exciting boats in the Windworks fleet. The C&C 110 was designed by Tim Jackett as a serious racer-cruiser — a boat with genuine go-fast credentials that doesn’t ask you to sacrifice comfort to get them. She was introduced as the “110 Express,” and the name still fits: fully powered up in just 8–10 knots of wind, she points high and moves with a confidence that puts a grin on any skipper’s face.
Below decks, Upbeat punches well above her weight. Varnished cherry wood joinery, a proper aft cabin, a separate shower stall in the head, and a well-appointed saloon make her comfortable for weekends or longer passages. The 2005 model year benefits from C&C’s post-cure epoxy hull construction (introduced in 2002), which keeps her light and stiff. All lines are led aft to a clean, uncluttered deck with Harken hardware throughout — she’s genuinely easy to sail short-handed.
Whether you’re looking to throw down a competitive lap in the Thursday evening race series or explore the San Juan Islands for a long weekend, Upbeat is ready for both.
