1 INTRODUCTION
This manual will help you to know your CS 36T (Traditional)Yacht. Read your manual carefully as well as
the manufacturer’s components manuals supplied with your yacht.
It is most important to familiarize yourself thoroughly with all aspects of operating and maintaining your
yacht in a safe and efficient manner.
If any questions remain that you cannot solve, your CS dealer will be only too pleased to clarify them.
If you find your yacht equipped with different gear from what is shown in your manual, it is usually due
to our continuing effort to upgrade and improve our line of yachts. Any new piece of equipment will be
usually equal or better.
We will therefore keep you informed through your dealer of any changes or improvements that have
been made relating to your particular yacht.
On taking delivery of your yacht, fill in the warranty card or change of ownership card and be sure to
read and understand the CS warranty. Return the card to CS Yachts as soon as possible.

3 CONSTRUCTION
3.1 Hull
The hull of the CS 36 yacht is a one-piece fiberglass molding. The hull is hand laid up with the finest
materials available and reinforced at key points of stress. The CS 36 is made even stronger by a molded
spline and girder section down the center of the yacht.
The stresses of the mast and keel are accepted by this module giving the yacht exceptional integrity. The
boot top and top accent strip are permanently molded into the hull.
3.2 Deck/Hull Connection
On assembly, the top of the hull flange is capped with a soft butyl rubber gasket. The deck is fastened
with stainless steel through bolts to the hull flange.
Upon tightening the bolts, the butyl compound is forced into remaining crevices.
Should a leak develop at the deck/hull joint the through bolts in the area may be tightened, ensuring
that the bolt does not turn while tightening the nut.
3.3 Deck
The deck and cockpit is a single-unit fiberglass molding surfaced with gelcoat. The deck and horizontal
section is molded in a sandwich of end grain balsa to give additional stiffness. A non-skid finish is molded
into the working areas of the deck.
3.4 Steering and Rudder
The yacht is fitted with pedestal steering and wheel, a radial driver turned by the wheel through a cable
system, clamped to the rudder post and through bolted.
The stainless rudder stock is a two-point attachment system. It is housed in a bearing gland which is
through bolted to a mounting flange integral with the hull laminate. The lower end of the stock is
supported by a lower bearing through bolted to the skeg.
3.5 Ballast
The keel of your CS Yacht is lead alloyed with antimony for added strength and cast to close tolerances.
The keel is through-bolted with oversize 316 stainless steel bolts that have been cast into the lead. The
tensile strength of these bolts is greater than 7,000 lbs. Each of the 12 bolts is capable of carrying the
keel by itself. Eight of the 12 bolts are double-lugged. These bolts are also embedded at various depths
in the lead keel itself. (See dwg. No. 9)

4 RIGGING
4.1 General
It is important to understand the principles involved in order to do an effective job of mast tuning.
Standing rigging refers to fixed lengths of stainless-steel wire or rod supporting the mast. If they offer
fore and aft support, they are called forestay and backstay. If the support is principally transverse, they
are called shrouds.
4.2 Spars
The mast on your CS .36 is supported by three sets of shrouds. Those running from the masthead to
deck are known as upper or cap shrouds.
Intermediate shrouds, fixed at the inner end of the upper shrouds, run through the tip of the lower
spreaders to the chain plates.
Two sets of lower shrouds are fitted, known as forward and aft lowers. Lower shrouds, led to chain
plates forward and aft of the mast centerline, provide some fore and aft support.
To reduce the large tensile forces in the shrouds and compressive load in the mast, the upper and
intermediate shrouds are led over spreaders. The upper spreaders lead the shrouds out from the mast
and provide a deflection of approximately 12°, which is considered ideal. However, the shrouds impart a
side load, acting horizontally along the spreader. The intermediates take some of this load off the mast
at the upper spreader, while the lower shrouds do the same at the lower spreader.
It is obvious that the more standing rigging that is used transversely and longitudinally, the stiffer the rig
will be, allowing a smaller mast section, thus reducing windage.
However, the French-made Isomat spars used by CS, together with the standing rigging described above
provide a very good balance of strength and simplicity.
4.3 Tuning
Tuning involves adjusting the tension of shrouds and stays so that the mast will remain straight under
various sailing conditions and when moored.
Tuning involves two phases: (a) Tuning at the dock or while moored; (b) Fine tuning while sailing.

CS36T Owner’s Manual Page 10
4.3.1 Tuning at the Dock or While Moored
All turnbuckles should be equipped with toggles at their base as supplied be CS Yachts to eliminate any
bending load on the swage and turnbuckle threads, including both ends of the forestay.
Start tuning the mast by ensuring that the mast is in the center of the boat, perpendicular to the
transverse waterline. The mast is set in the forward setting at the mast step. At this point the rubber
mast collar should be set into the mast partners between the mast and deck. This is a tight fit and can be
accomplished best by fitting the collar into place as the mast is being lowered onto the mast step. If the
collar just fits into the fiberglass mast partners with the mast heel casting 2"-3" away from the mast
step, the collar will fit perfectly.
Since boats often do not level at dock due to uneven load distribution of the accommodation plan and
internal weights, slacken all shrouds fully by loosening the turnbuckles. Take the main halyard and lead
the shackle end to a point on the starboard toe rail. Adjust the tension on the halyard so that the end of
the shackle just touches the toe rail, then cleat the halyard. Move the shackle to the same location on
the port toe rail; the end of the shackle should just touch the rail. Lightly take up on the turnbuckles on
the upper shrouds until the mast has been centered.
Now, starting at the lower shrouds, tighten their turnbuckles evenly. Repeatedly sight up the mast track
to ensure that you are not deflecting the lower part of the mast in any direction.
Next, tighten the intermediates, again, ensuring that the mast remains straight, then do the same on the
uppers. When you are sure that the mast is straight, start at the lowers and tighten each pair of shrouds
evenly, by counting the number of turns applied to each. Tighten until the turnbuckles become difficult
to turn.
The mast should now be checked for rake. Rake is the angle, either forward or aft, from vertical.
Forward rake is to be avoided.
In calm conditions, if possible, hang a weight on the main halyard shackle and suspend it just above the
deck. The distance from the aft face of the mast to the halyard represents the amount of rake and
should be approximately 8"-10".
Rake is adjusted by moving the masthead in the required direction by use of the turnbuckles on the
backstay and forestay.
If your yacht is fitted with a furling gear on the forestay, it may be necessary to adjust the length of the
forestay by the use of link plates.
Backstay tension should be high, to minimize forestay sag, without imparting too much fore and aft
bend in the mast.
