The CS 27 is a Canadiansailboat, that was designed by Raymond Wall and first built in 1975. The design is out of production.[1][2]
The boat was built by CS Yachts in Canada, with 480 examples completed between 1975 and 1983, when production ended.[1]
Design[edit]
The CS 27 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,100 lb (2,767 kg) and carries 2,400 lb (1,089 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 5.17 ft (1.58 m) with the standard iron-ballasted keel and 3.92 ft (1.19 m) with the optional longer shoal draft lead-ballasted keel. About 90 were built with the shoal draft keel.[1][3]
The boat was initially fitted with a Japanese Yanmar YSE diesel engine and later a Yanmar 1GM model.[1]
In 1977 an increased area rudder with 2 in (5.1 cm) more added to the leading edge for better helm balance was introduced and this new rudder design could be retrofitted to older boats. In 1980 the mast was changed from a Proctor to an Isomat section along with small interior improvements.[1]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 207 with a high of 204 and low of 216. It has a hull speed of 6.55 kn (12.13 km/h).[2]
Operational history[edit]
Notable examples include the CS 27 Sea Weasel which achieved a second place in West Vancouver Yacht Club's 2014 Southern Straits Classic.[4]
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, 'Boats with a length of twenty-seven feet and a displacement topping 6000 pounds will generally have more in common with 30 footers than the outboard powered boats in the 25 to 26 foot range. This is certainly true of the CS 27. It is a fast boat with real adult size room below decks, and it comes with an inboard diesel, double lifelines, two speed winches, a pressurized fresh water system, and a huge 5.8 cubic foot ice box. The CS 27 is a sleek boat that was built strong enough for some serious ocean sailing.'[5]

Learning how to raise the mast on a sailboat is a challenging procedure. If you are a beginner at sailing, this will be one of the major lessons to learn. The first thing you'll notice right away is that raising the mast is particularly gruesome for you all alone. Although raising a mast can be done by yourself if you have a winch strategically placed, you will definitely need and appreciate the assistance of a friend to accomplish this task.
Safety is paramount when raising the mast and going at this task alone compromises your safety. Refer to the instructions outlined in your Sailboat safety and operating manual when raising the mast and navigating your craft on the water.
Step 1 - Prepare the Mast
Before you begin the task of raising the mast, free up all restraints that hold the mast in place. Remove the forestay and the shrouds.
Step 2 - The Shrouds
You will need to keep the shrouds attached at each end. If the shrouds become disconnected, connect them again ensuring that they are free from being tangled with any other part of your boat or equipment.
Step 3 - Remove the Ties
Check the entire mast and ensure that it is untied from all of its support anchors.
Step 4 - Prepare to Raise
Now you must get the mast in position to be raised. With the assistance of your partner, place the mast on top of the sailboat. Next, place the base of the mast close to the mast step on top of the cabin. Put the top end of the mast in the aft mass carrier.
Step 5 - Mast Foot
Cs 27 Sailboat
Join the mast now to the mast foot. Ensure it is properly in place and that the mast foot is in good repair. There will be a lot of pressure in this area when you are beginning to raise the mast.
Step 6 - Mainsheet
After ensuring the mast is secure in the mast foot, connect the mainsheet to the bow. You will want to make sure you have enough line to attach the mainsheet to the boom.

Step 7 - Forestay
The forestay will now need to be connected to the high end of the boom. Check it for security.
Step 8 - Mainsheet, Forestay and Boom
With almost all of the hard stuff out of the way, now connect the mainsheet to the end of the forestay. Ensure it is secure and then join the boom to the mast's front.
Step 9 - Double-Check Everything
With the help of your partner, look over the process and double check all connections and attachments. Be particularly sure that the shrouds are free. When you start to raise the mast, you don't want any setbacks to hinder you.
Step 10 - Raise the Mast
Get yourself in position and pull. Ask your partner to help guide the boom as you pull.
