From the Original CS36 Brochure

Designed by Raymond Wall (formerly chief sailing yacht designer at Camper and Nicholsons in England), her fine entry makes her extremely close winded while her powerful quarters give her a solid track off the wind. With an almost 42% ballast/weight ratio, she stands up beautifully to heavy weather, yet her double spreader, masthead sail plan moves her easily in light breezes. She's sprightly and maneuverable to every touch of the wheel, yet properly trimmed she'll maintain perfect balance on all points of sail.

To be a world class cruiser means a yacht designed and constructed to world class standards. CS has gained deserved respect among knowledgeable yachtsmen the whole world over for attention to detail and overall quality.
