The Legacy of CS Yachts
CS Yachts holds a legendary status in North American boatbuilding history. Founded by Paul Vance in Brampton, Ontario, the shipyard earned an international reputation for high-quality production sailboats that perfectly balanced performance with comfort. Renowned for their uncompromising structural integrity, robust fiberglass layups, and exquisite interior joiner work, CS vessels were built specifically to handle the demanding, chop-heavy conditions of the Great Lakes while maintaining the refinement expected of a premium offshore cruiser.
Today, CS Yachts remains an iconic name among Canadian sailors. Because the builder refused to cut corners on materials or engineering, these classic yachts continue to outperform newer builds in longevity and structural resilience. Owning a CS means stepping into a legacy of craftsmanship, safety, and a passionate, dedicated owner community across Ontario and North America.
The CS 30: A Masterclass in Pocket Cruising
Designed by the legendary Tony Castro, the CS 30 is widely considered one of the finest 30-foot performance cruisers ever built. Castro successfully merged a fast, modern hull shape with an incredibly intelligent, spacious interior layout that makes the boat feel like a 32-to-34-foot vessel. With a well-proportioned sail plan, responsive wheel steering, and an efficient underbody, the CS 30 tracks beautifully and handles exceptionally well in light air and heavy weather alike, making it the perfect racer-cruiser for Lake Ontario.
Step below deck, and the interior volume becomes the true highlight. The layout boasts a spacious main salon with ample headroom, a functional private aft cabin—a rare luxury in a 30-foot boat of this era—and a fully equipped galley. This specific 1988 model has been thoughtfully upgraded and meticulously maintained, making it turnkey for weekend family cruising, club racing, or extended summer adventures on the water.
