About 90 were built with the shoal draft keel.[2][5] It has a [hull speed](/source/Hull_speed) of 6.55 kn (12.13 km/h).[4] The boat was initially fitted with a Japanese [Yanmar](/source/Yanmar) YSE [diesel engine](/source/Diesel_engine) and later a Yanmar 1GM model.[2] The spacious interior includes a 5.8 cubic foot icebox.[6] In 1977 an increased area rudder with 2 in (5.1 cm) more added to the leading edge for better helm balance was introduced and this new rudder design could be retrofitted to older boats. In 1980 the mast was changed from a Proctor to an Isomat section along with small interior improvements.[2] It has a [masthead sloop](/source/Masthead_sloop) rig. ## Operational history Notable examples include the CS 27 *Sea Weasel* which achieved a second place in West Vancouver Yacht Club's 2014 Southern Straits Classic.[7] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** McArthur, Bruce (2022).
