The CS 27 is a recreational keelboat built by CS Yachts in Canada, with 480 examples completed between 1975 and 1983.[1][2][3][4]
Design
The fibreglass hull has a transom-hung rudder and a fixed fin keel.[2][4] It has a draft of 5.17 ft (1.58 m) with the standard iron-ballasted keel and 3.92 ft (1.19 m) with the optional longer shoal draft lead-ballasted keel. About 90 were built with the shoal draft keel.[2][5] It has a hull speed of 6.55 kn (12.13 km/h).[4]
The boat was initially fitted with a Japanese Yanmar YSE diesel engine and later a Yanmar 1GM model.[2]
The spacious interior includes a 5.8 cubic foot icebox.[6]
In 1977 an increased area rudder with 2 in (5.1 cm) more added to the leading edge for better helm balance was introduced and this new rudder design could be retrofitted to older boats. In 1980 the mast was changed from a Proctor to an Isomat section along with small interior improvements.[2]
It has a masthead sloop rig.
Operational history
Notable examples include the CS 27 Sea Weasel which achieved a second place in West Vancouver Yacht Club's 2014 Southern Straits Classic.[7]
