Canadian Sailcraft built some of Canada's most respected cruising sailboats, and the CS 36 is one of the brand's standout designs. Designed by Raymond Wall and built by Canadian Sailcraft, the CS 36 became one of the company's most popular models, with more than 60 sold within a month of its 1978 introduction and approximately 400 built overall.
The CS 36 has earned its reputation as a true sailor's cruiser: elegant lines, quality Canadian construction, a powerful masthead sloop rig, a comfortable cockpit, and a warm, practical interior. Canadian Boating described the model as a strong blend of comfort, quality, and performance, with a layout that feels both capable offshore and inviting at anchor.
"Nite Train", a 1981 Canadian Sailcraft 36, is a beautiful example of this well-loved Canadian classic. Upgrades have been made to areas that make a boat feel special the moment you step aboard, including a new teak and holly cabin sole, reupholstered cushions, and a refinished, and refurbished port lights to name a few improvements. The result is a warm, refreshed interior with the timeless feel sailors love in a traditional cruiser, paired with the confident sailing manners that made the CS 36 such a respected design.
