CS27 with Dinghy and New Outboard
FIRST: THERE ARE MANY BOAT SCAMS OUT THERE. TO ALLEVIATE ANY FEAR OF ANY BUYER OR ME, I WILL NOT ASK YOU FOR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION NOR ANY MONEY UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN THE BOAT AND MY DOCUMENTS AND WE HAVE MET. I WILL BEHAVE HONESTLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. AND PLEASE, I EXPECT THE SAME FROM. YOU THE POTENTIAL BUYER.
I’m selling my awesome CS 27 as a complete cruising package with Highfield dinghy and 2020 Honda 9.9 included. The boat is ready to go cruise the Caribbean. I finished a year of cruising around Bahamas, Cuba, DR and parked it in DR. After 5 amazing years with this boat, I am upgrading to a bigger vessel. The CS 27 is a very robust blue water design (Raymond Wall), capable of big waters. It is excellent for a single handed or a couple wanting to enjoying cruising in a very economical boat. Many many upgrades have been done, including electrical.
Vessel registered in Canada and USA import and duty paid complete.
CRUISING SEASON STARTS THE END OF NOVEMBER!!
Equipment: HULL The hull is in excellent condition. Research will show that this model of boat has a very strong history. It is a hand Lay-Up solid fibreglass hull. NO BLISTERS. I did a bottom job twice, the most recent was January 2020 with top of the line Interlux Micron 66. There would be two years of cruising left on the bottom paint. The thru-hulls for the toilet intake, sink drain and waste water dump have been replaced with Maralon valves and thu-hulls.
ENGINE Engine is a Yanmar YSB8 in great condition. It has never given me any trouble. It always starts and runs well. This is probable due to the two previous owners not using the boat very often. I had a diesel mechanic look at it during the big refit 2017 and his opinion was its in excellent condition. I have complete logs of angina use and maintenance since I took the boat. The original boat trip instrument showing total boat miles shows 5000 up to 2017 when I disconnected it to install the new Ramarine instruments.
INSTRUMENTATION/NAV Raymarine i40 instruments (two) with depth,speed,wind,temp. 2017 connected to NMEA 2000 backbone in the boat. Also able to connect a chart plotter directly to the NMEA 2000 system. I just used an ipad.
Brand new in the box Simrad tiller auto pilot that also connects to the NMEA 2000.
SAILS Sail package include Main and 150% Genoa on roller fuller. There is a spare main sail and a spare 100% Genoa. All in good condition. I replaced the running rigging for these where needed and there are many spare lines in the boat.
ELECTRICAL The electrical has had a major upgrade for cruising. Rewired, new nav lights, two 105 amp hour AGM batteries 2019 plus one spare 2020 One separate start battery 2019 Batteries connected through an SI-ACR charging relay. 370 watts of solar ( two Renogy and one Sunpower panels) Solar charging connected to victron energy charge controller and battery monitor with blue tooth monitoring.
Inverter is a 1000 watt pure sign wave inverter from Kisae. I set this boat up for fully off grid sailboat cruising regarding power.
WATER SYSTEM 25 gallon fresh water tank, with two 2018 water pumps 25 gallon waste water tank with new 2019 macerator pump for dumping.
DINGHY/OUTBOARD Of course it is all set up for immediate cruising with a Dinghy and motor. Its a 2014 Highfield CL290, fully titled. And a new Honda 4 stroke 9.9 outboard bought in November 2020. (About 50 hours total- price was $2600)
The boat has a valid ship station licence, and MMSI number. Commonly needed for DSC radios, AIS, etc.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The optional shoal draft model has a longer bolt-on lead keel.
Draft: 3.92’/1.19m
Displacement: 6500 lbs./2948 kgs.
Ballast: 2800 lbs./1270 kgs.
Sail Area/Disp.: 15.71
Bal./Disp.: 43.08%;Disp./Len.: 212.02
About 90 boats were fitted with these lead fins.
In 1977, the rudder area was increased. CS also offered owners a rudder retrofit kit that added two inches to the forward edge to improve helm balance. Three years later, the mast was changed from a Proctor to an Isomat section, the fibreglass cabin sole was replaced with teak and holly , and cupboard doors were finished with woven cane fronts. The Yanmar YSE was replaced with the 1GM as standard equipment. Drawing shown here is from introductory brochure.
