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. Now, please browse our pages as a way of getting to know us. Our site guide at the left will get you started. Welcome! Here are some online resources for learning and sharing information about the various CS yachts out there. There are some mailing list servers for the convenience and enjoyment of anyone interested in CS Yachts. They allow you to participate in discussions with others who share that interest.. They are absolutely not to be used for commercial messages or any purpose other than that stated above. Anyone abusing the privelege of joining a list will be removed from it at the sole discretion of the list moderator.
