Emerald Fire! For Sale: Canadian Sailcraft CS40 - Classic Cruiser Racer
Currently located In Mazatlan Mexico ready for the Sea-of-Cortez or the quick downwind sail to Peurto Vallarta. This 1990 Canadian Sailcraft CS40 is a rare find. She is well-maintained with the engine and rigging freshly tuned.
The CS40 is powered by a reliable 43-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine and features a spacious and comfortable interior with ample headroom. Her generous beam of 12’ provides plenty of room for cruising and entertaining. Her sleek lines and powerful sail plan make her a capable club-racer as well.
The CS40’s accommodations are comfortable and well-appointed, featuring a large saloon with a settee and a convertible dinette (queen size pull-out), a well-equipped galley with plenty of storage and counter space (heat-pump refridgeration that makes ice and keeps meat frozen), and two private staterooms. The master stateroom is located aft and features a queen-size berth, ample storage and wet-sink, while the forward stateroom has a V-berth with private access to the head as well as plenty of storage, and a huge forward hatch with rolling screen.
The CS40’s deck layout is well-designed and features wide side decks for easy movement, a large cockpit with comfortable seating for six, and a spacious foredeck with plenty of room for sunbathing or relaxing. Her sail plan includes a full-batten mainsail, a furling genoa, and a spinnaker, providing plenty of power and speed in any conditions.
This Canadian Sailcraft CS40 is a true classic that combines traditional styling with modern technology to create a yacht that is both beautiful and functional. She has been well-maintained and is ready to sail away on her next adventure. Contact us today to schedule a showing and see for yourself why the CS40 is a classic that never goes out of style.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.9 kn
Classic: 7.66 kn
Hull Speed
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.
Formula
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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
18.5
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
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.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
44.1
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
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.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
217.5
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
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.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
25.6
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
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.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.0
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
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.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
