The Amazing CS27!
 

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.

Yes, and?????
They are still in the same ballpark...which makes you both right and
stupid.
Or perhaps, if you'd like to stock to exact LOA's, you'll have to admit
that the 35.5 foot 35s5 is the finest boat of her length!!!

Thanks, Scotty!!!
But why are you picking on poor Dave?

Doesn't the length of a boat have something to do with it's
speed?

A CS27 is not slower than the boats I listed due to LOA. In fact the
CS27 is actually longer LOA and LWL than the faster C&C!!!
