About the Cs 33 Sailboat

Canadian Sailcraft's Cs 33 emerged in 1979 as a well-balanced cruiser-racer that would go on to capture the attention of sailors seeking performance without sacrificing comfort. Designer Raymond Wall created a hull that demonstrates impressive versatility, with 450 boats built during the model's eight-year production run through 1987. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling and good windward performance, while the masthead sloop rig provides straightforward sail handling for both racing and cruising applications. With a displacement of 10,000 pounds and 4,250 pounds of ballast, the Cs 33 strikes an appealing balance between stability and speed potential, evidenced by its sail area to displacement ratio of 17.4. The fiberglass construction features a balsa-cored deck, contributing to strength while keeping weight reasonable. At 32.67 feet overall with a beam of 10.67 feet, the design offers sufficient interior space for comfortable coastal cruising while maintaining the sleek lines that made it competitive in club racing. The moderate 5.80-foot draft makes it suitable for a wide range of harbors and anchorages. This Canadian-built yacht earned a reputation as a solid performer equally at home in weekend club races or extended coastal passages, representing the practical sailing philosophy of its era.
