Default What are your boat's specifications?

That sounds a lot closer to your actual boat, although I

think including the
word "racer" is solely for marketing purposes. G


The term "racer-cruiser" seems a bit more popular than
"cruiser-racer" but would seem appropriate to very wide
number of boats. (more below)


... In my eye, it is a medium
weight cruiser - and a good one. Calling it a racer would

be like describing
Oprah as having an "athletic build". LOL Your boat was

built for comfort, not
speed. It seems to suit your needs quite well.

What's more, Charl(krust)ie doesn't seem to recognize the
CS-27 origin, even given the strong hint of it's years when
actively produced & marketed. The hull & rig are fairly
typical of early/mid 1970s IOR boats, where the measurement
rule had encouraged beamy boats with narrow aft sections and
masthead rigs with short booms. Being a production boat, the
CS-27 is a moderate design rather than an extreme IOR late
'70s broach-coach, but if you parked next to one, you'd see
the family resemblance.
