About the Cs 395

With limited specifications available, the Cs 395 represents one of the more elusive entries in the sailboat market, making comprehensive research challenging for potential buyers. This vessel appears to be part of a broader lineup, though detailed information about its design origins, builder, and specific characteristics remains scarce in readily accessible sources. Given the numerical designation suggesting a mid-sized vessel, the Cs 395 would likely fall into the category suitable for coastal cruising and potentially limited offshore passages, depending on its actual construction and design philosophy. Without concrete specifications, prospective owners should exercise particular diligence in personally inspecting any example they're considering. The scarcity of available information could indicate either a limited production run, regional distribution, or simply a boat that hasn't gained widespread recognition in the sailing community. This situation presents both challenges and opportunities for buyers – while research proves difficult, it might also mean finding a hidden gem or securing a competitive price due to lower market awareness. Anyone seriously considering a Cs 395 should prioritize hands-on evaluation, professional surveys, and direct communication with current or previous owners to gather the essential details typically found in manufacturer specifications and sailing reviews.

Performance Ratios
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
27.4
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
19.79
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
2.18
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. 7.48
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
3.4
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. 1.0
