The CS 27 stands as a hallmark of Canadian maritime engineering, representing the moment Canadian Sailcraft transitioned from a smallscale builder of pocket cruisers into a premiere manufacturer of serious offshorecapable yachts. Launched in 1975 and designed by the prolific Raymond Wall—formerly the chief designer at the prestigious British firm Camper & Nicholsons—the CS 27 was engineered to offer a level of "big boat" feel and structural integrity rarely found in the 27foot class. With 480 hulls produced between 1975 and 1983, it became one of the most successful production sailboats in North American history. The model was built at the Brampton, Ontario facility with a focus on highload tolerances and a finish quality intended to compete with the finest European imports of the era.
