1981 CS 36 Traditional 'Windreka II' – Classic Canadian Performance Cruiser in Picton, Ontario

The Legacy of CS Yachts

CS Yachts, short for Canadian Sailcraft, stands as one of the most respected names in North American boatbuilding history. Founded in Brampton, Ontario, the shipyard earned a legendary reputation for uncompromising build quality, robust construction, and exceptional attention to detail. Operating during the golden era of Canadian yacht manufacturing, CS Yachts utilized heavy hand-laid fiberglass, structural grid systems, and premium teak joinery to create vessels designed to handle the demanding conditions of the Great Lakes and coastal oceans alike.

Every yacht crafted by CS Yachts reflects a commitment to structural integrity and performance efficiency. Their manufacturing standards set a benchmark in the marine industry, resulting in timeless sailboats that remain highly sought after by discerning cruisers and racers. Today, CS Yachts models are celebrated for their enduring value, impressive longevity, and seaworthy designs that continue to outlast many contemporary production boats.

The Iconic CS 36 Traditional

Designed by renowned naval architect Raymond Wall, the CS 36 Traditional is widely regarded as one of the finest performance cruisers in its size range. Introduced to offer a perfect balance of speed, stability, and interior comfort, the CS 36 features a powerful sail plan paired with a sleek hull design. Its moderate draft and generous ballast ratio provide fantastic stability and tracking, making it an absolute joy to helm across varying wind conditions.

On deck, the CS 36 Traditional boasts a clean, functional layout tailored for efficient shorthanded sailing or fully-crewed cruising. Wide side decks, well-placed winches, and an ergonomic cockpit allow for effortless sail handling. The stout rig and balanced underwater profile ensure fast passages, whether you are embarking on extended Great Lakes voyages or enjoying an afternoon club race.

Stepping below deck, the interior highlights the craftsmanship that made CS Yachts famous. The classic layout features warm teak bulkheads, fine cabinetry, and a beautiful teak and holly sole. The deep salon offers ample headroom, comfortable seating, and a large drop-leaf dining table capable of hosting family and friends in style and comfort.

The practical layout continues with a fully-equipped navigation station, a practical L-shaped galley, and private sleeping accommodations. Storage space is abundant throughout, making extended liveaboard cruising both organized and effortless. The CS 36 Traditional remains a iconic choice for sailors seeking high-quality construction, proven performance, and classic yachting lines.
