This wonderful line of racer/cruisers was built in the 70s and 80s, in sizes ranging from 20' to 40'. Canadian Sailcraft unfortunately stopped manufacture in 1992 - a victim, like many other quality boat companies, of the ill-advised U.S. luxury tax. But their boats sail on, providing tremendous pleasure to their proud owners. Note: In 1999, CS Yachts International began production again on a limited basis. An e-mail in 2005 informed us that: "You should note that CS is in business and have delivered the first of the new CS Power Cat 42's and have orders for more. In addition Carlson & Wentzell Marine Inc. have started marketing the 363, 393 and the Custom 44 sailing yachts in addition to the Power Cat 42 in Atlantic Canada and Bermuda." Check the link above to their web site for current status. If you would like to join CSOA or CS West , please contact us for information. Now, please browse our pages as a way of getting to know us.
