About the Cs 30

With limited specifications available, the Cs 30 represents a somewhat enigmatic entry in the 30-foot sailboat segment. Based on the model designation, this vessel likely emerged from a builder focused on creating practical sailing solutions for the recreational market, though comprehensive details about its design lineage remain scarce. What can be inferred from available information suggests a boat designed with versatility in mind. The 30-foot length places it squarely in the popular mid-size cruising category, offering enough interior volume for comfortable coastal adventures while maintaining manageable handling characteristics for couples or small crews. This size typically translates to a vessel capable of both weekend coastal sailing and extended cruising ventures. Without detailed specifications to draw upon, potential buyers should conduct thorough inspections and seek out owner testimonials to better understand the Cs 30's sailing characteristics and build quality. The limited documentation may indicate either a smaller production run or a boat that predates comprehensive record-keeping in marine databases. For those researching this model, connecting with sailing communities and marine surveyors familiar with the brand could provide valuable insights into the boat's seaworthiness, construction standards, and overall suitability for intended sailing applications.

Performance Ratios
PHRF Rating PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) is a national racing handicap measured in seconds per nautical mile. Lower values indicate faster boats. Ratings are sourced from US Sailing's national database (median across 60+ regional fleets).
Under 0 — Ultralight racer0–90 — Performance racer90–150 — Cruiser/racer150–210 — Typical cruiserOver 210 — Heavy/slow cruiser
150
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
18.54
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
20.79
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
2.05
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.76
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
2.67
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 930.99
