A friend of mine has a CS30, and I sail on it quite a lot. They have an excellent interior layout, and the best use of interior space that I have seen on a 30 foot sailboat. They were often characterised as "marina beaters" because of their good cruising accommodations and relatively short overall length. The older design CS33 is very similar, and you gain little by paying a marina for the extra 3 feet. The boat sails well enough. My only real complaint as compared to my C&C27 MKIII is that you don't get at lot of warning when the rudder is reaching its limit, and it has an annoying tendency to round up when overpowered in a gust. Rudder could have been bigger in my opinion. My friend's boat has a tall rig with double spreaders and I think that some were built shorter. There were shoal draft versions available as well. All that I have seen come with factory self tailers, lines led aft to clutches, and an Isomat boom. If you are looking for a well built pocket cruiser, these boats are hard to beat. Price has been a bit high for me, they were 40 - 50k for a long time around here, or I would probably own one now. Don't forget that the Great Lakes boats are usually in better condition than the ones down south in salt water.

This one just popped up on YachtWorld. I've heard very positive comments about the build quality of CS boats. The 2 avail locally are asking $35000-38000. The interior layout looks good - with a little extra galley space and the double rear berth. Anyone want to check that one out for me??? Mark Click on image to enlarge 30' CS 30 a.. Year: 1988 b..
