Production

The boat was built by CS Yachts in Canada who completed 400 examples between 1978 and 1987. The boat was a commercial success and 60 were sold in the first month it was produced.[1]

It was replaced in the production line after nearly a year overlap in production by the CS 36 Merlin designed by Tony Castro. After the introduction of the CS 36 Merlin the CS 36 was referred to as the CS 36 Traditional.[1]

Design

The CS 36 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa wood-cored deck and wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type/transom-hung rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 15,500 lb (7,031 kg) and carries 6,500 lb (2,948 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 6.25 ft (1.91 m) with the standard keel and 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. The shoal draft version displaces 15,650 lb (7,099 kg) and carries 6,650 lb (3,016 kg) of lead ballast[1][4]

The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke diesel engine of 30 hp (22 kW), or a Mitsubishi motor of 33 hp (25 kW) or a Volvo engine of 28 hp (21 kW). The fuel tank holds 35 U.S. gallons (130 L; 29 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 83 U.S. gallons (310 L; 69 imp gal).[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 126 with a high of 135 and low of 123. It has a hull speed of 7.33 kn (13.58 km/h).[2]

Operational history

In a review of the CS 36 Traditional, Michael McGoldrick wrote, "the CS 36 is very much a traditional boat in the broader sense of the word insofar that it exemplifies the larger sailboats that were being built in the 1970s and early 1980s. This boat doesn't seem to have any design feature which is particularly outstanding, but everything comes together to produce a timeless design with pleasing proportions."[5]
