FROM THE HELM

Anton and I flew to Vancouver B.C. this past November 1997 and met with the CS Owners West group. Their guest speaker was Mr. Raymond Wall, Chief CS designer for the CS27, 33, and 36 T. Mr. Wall had an informative and interesting talk about himself and the boats he designed. Also he discussed problems and why some of the later models are different from the beginning production ones.
