Glad you got my email & thanks for joining! if your not familiar with Sainet it's an amazing group of sailors with thousands of years of combined knowledge!!
I do think this will be a much better vehicle for CS owners moving forward and can't wait to see some photos custom projects!!
P.S. Just a quick note to new members of Sailnet. You will need a total of ten posts before you will be allowed to post photos or links so let's get those burning CS Yachts questions going so that we may see some photos.
If you "direct linked" here there are plenty more "general" sailing forums within Sailnet CLICK HERE to view them:
Here's my Merlin, #6236. Bought her in 1988, she's still going strong although I only sail her in Lake Ontario now. Picture taken a few years ago in the Tongue of the Ocean. Got a B393 for winter sailing in the Bahamas now.
Beautiful boat Rick!! How different is the Merlin from the 36T down below? I'm guessing you must have a double quarter berth or a true aft cabin? We don't see many Merlins down this way...
I bought my Merlin in 88. That was the second year they built Merlins and the last year they built what is now called the CS36 Traditional. I was going to buy the 36T because it has a bit of shear and frankly looks prettier but was talked out of it by the salesman who told me that the Merlin would hold its value better. He was right. My first boat was a CS30 another Castro design. The Merlin is much brighter down below, the layout is similar but with a full aft cabin versus the little quarter berth in the 36T. The divider forward of the chart table makes the T less open and darker inside. The head is aft of the v berth with hanging locker opposite. Very nice galley aft portside. Two totally different in design and construction but both excellent boats!!
I have been with sailnet for a while now. But now it is more helpfull for me to have the CS guys here. I am renovating my CS 27 this year. I will post pics as I go.
Here is our 1982 CS33 after a $40,000 refit. There were over 70 projects completed in the winter of 2006-2007 and there are still things to be done. We will see you on Lake Ontario GRant

Sorry for the dock pic, but it will be awhile in Michigan before I can get an action photo...
Great idea for this forum, by the way. I've been cruising Sailnet for a couple of years, and tried to find information on CS before I bought this boat last summer, but there was not very good representation from CS owners. Just bought Tenacity in August, and am spending the winter upgrading and learning about the boat. Keep up the postings.
I have to say that the photo of Cupecoy at the start of this thread is a terrific shot. Great looking boat!
Mine is a 1991 CS 34 from Lake St Claire. Now on Long Island Sound in Milford, CT. Have not sailed it much in the last year I've had it but hopefully this year!
Also hoping to rename it "Rode Trip" if I can ever get the painted-on name off.
Last weekend we were in Florida and went out on the ICW for the afternoon and spotted this CS-36T which happens to be for sale.
I spoke with the owner for a few minutes and moved on but I did not catch his name. He said they had been out cruising and living aboard for many years!
Hi,
I have a CS 36T sailing around Georgia Strait and area. Boat name is Far fetch. The CS west group is a good place for tech advice as Ray Wall is a member.
If you want to get your number of posts above ten just go to the "Song Chain" post and run them up. Here's the link to the song chain post: The Song Chain
That photo was hosted elsewhere so all you needed to do was click on the little yellow box with the "mountain" and paste your photos address. You can't paste it directly to the body of the message and be successful so you must use the yellow mountain icon.
This is the same address pasted using the yellow mountain icon. (As always don't forget to remove the "http://" part of the address already there when you click the mountain before pasting your address)
