This is from the Canadian review....

" I saw that the CS 27 was a good heavy-air boat that could point, and
was quite competitive on the race course," says Stark. "After shopping
around, I finally bought my boat for $27,000 in 1986." Stark chose his
boat because it was epoxy-tarred below the waterline prior to launch to
prevent osmotic blistering. This boat's propensity to blister is well
known on the second-hand market, and many 27s have had their gel coat
stripped before undergoing an epoxy barrier coat treatment. I estimate
that nearly 50 per cent of these boats have suffered from the boat
"pox" at one time. The CS 27 PHRF rating is 216 sec./mile in white
sail, or 198 when flying a spinnaker."

50% have blisters? PHRF of 198??? Holy CRAP!!!

Why not buy a boat BB's C&C 27 MK5 which is better built, has no acne
problems and rates 168???? Oh, and the C&C looks good compared to the
CS27, which is almost as dated looking as Sloco's Express Depress 30!

C'mon, Dave. Give us a break. If you can't buy a nicer boat, that's
fine. But don't peddle off ancient forgotten crap as if it's a good
boat, cuz it aint.
