About the CS 34
Three keels were available: shoal draft, winged, and a semi-elliptical deep-fin version with bulb.
The CS 34 is a 33.5 ft masthead sloop designed by Tony Castro and built by Canadian Sailcraft (CAN) and MG Yachts (UK). Production records indicate the model was built in 1989, with the total number of hulls built currently unknown.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, moderate-displacement boat with a comfort ratio of 21.96.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 10500.0 lb and a low capsize ratio of 2.06, the CS 34 offers reasonable offshore stability, though its single-year production run limits the breadth of long-term bluewater performance data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Cal 34 and O'Day 34, which share similar beam dimensions and displacement characteristics for coastal cruising.
