History
CS 22
CS 33

Tennyson owned a reinforced plastics business and decided to produce the Cornice dinghy as a sideline in 1963 under the name Canadian Sailcraft. The Caprice 15 followed in 1968. In 1970 the company ceased dinghy production to concentrate on keelboats instead, changing its name to CS Yachts.[1]

The initial designer was John Butler, who designed the CS 22. Raymond Wall, formerly the chief designer for Camper Nicholson was head designer at CS from 1977 to 1983, when he designed the CS 27, CS 36 and the CS 33. In 1983 Tony Castro became head designer and produced the CS 36 Merlin, the CS 30, CS 44, CS 40 and the CS 34. The 1979 CS 395 and 1987 CS 50 were designed by Germán Frers.[1][3][4][5] Other designs were produced at C&C Yachts.

Production peaked in 1986, with 175 boats completed. In 1987 the company relocated to a 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) production facility, but by 1990 the demand for new sailboats had decreased and the company business was wound up, ceasing operations in 1992.[1]

Summary of boats built by Canadian Sailcraft and CS Yachts:

gollark: Domains is less information than full paths, how exactly are you meant to know when to stop receiving a document with this (closing the connection‽), and there's an ESNI thing in the works.
gollark: ALL protocols are to support reasonable confidentiality.
gollark: Maybe, but it can have POST bodies.
gollark: - gpg is isomorphic to cryoapioform - it is already too late, as I just interfaced this with a JS engine and some HTML layouting stuff and am accessing my email through this; for now, I am using an SSH tunnel, but this is uncool, so security *is* required - additionally, normalizing protection of exactly which content you visit from eavesdroppers is good- it doesn't even have a Content-Length field- but I need to store arbitrarily large indices into metagollarious ultraspace
gollark: Where?
