Design
CS 30 with alternate window arrangement

The CS 30 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder, reverse transom and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 8,000 lb (3,629 kg) and carries 3,440 lb (1,560 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel, 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the optional shoal draft keel and 4.5 ft (1.4 m) with the optional wing keel.[1][4][5]

The boat is fitted with a Volvo diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW). The fuel tank holds 19 U.S. gallons (72 L; 16 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal).[1]

The winged keel version of the boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 156 with a high of 185 and low of 144. It has a hull speed of 6.76 kn (12.52 km/h).[2]

Operational history
CS 30 with small opening ports

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The CS 30 was introduced in the mid 1980s, and it was an immediate hit with sailors who had outgrown their 26 and 27 footers. It is a newer design which features a fairly long waterline, a wide transom, and double spreaders. And while it doesn't quite have an enclosed aft cabin, it comes very close with a large aft double berth ... Approximately five hundred CS 30s were built during the latter half of the 1980s. Unlike the large windows illustrated on line drawings, many of these appear to have been built with 8 smaller opening ports (similar to what is found on the CS 36 Traditional)."[6]
