With sad hearts we have made the really difficult decision to sell Foggy. She is a fantastic boat and is perfect for us. She has a great combination of speed, comfort and simplicity. The reason why we want to sell is our kids. They’ve decided that they love sailing with us and want to join us on more adventures. While Foggy can comfortably house four people with her two separate private cabins and can have up to seven with people sleeping in the main cabin (it gets crowded!). We had nine family members on board for Canada Day in Cobourg and she just can’t handle that many people for any long term adventure. So… we are now searching for someone to adopt Foggy and take her on new adventures! She is ready to take you anywhere.

We are asking $75,000 CAD (or approx $55k USD)

1990 CS 34

She is a 1990 CS34 sailboat made by Canadian Sailcraft, manufactured in Ontario, Canada. The CS34 was one of the very last designs made by Tony Castro that rolled off their assembly line. One of the first boats to introduce luxury items: a sugar scoop to make access to water and dinghy easier, two separate private cabins, and a separate shower (you don’t have to shower with the toilet) in a small performance design. These boats were produced after the osmosis issues surfaced in the 80s and the CS34s were treated with extra protection like the use of more expensive polyvinyl resin on the hull. The CS34 is a rare boat and often gets complimented at the dock.

You can learn more about the CS34 here: https://www.foghornlullaby.com/about/cs34-sailboat/

There is also a very good community of CS owners that assist with any types of questions about Canadian Sailcraft sailboats. You can find it here: https://csoa.groups.io

We are the second owners of this boat, the previous owner named her Dionysus. He purchased it directly from Canadian Sailcraft and spent time at the factory overseeing the build. The boat was ordered with pretty much every option, extra winches on the coach deck, larger engine, shoal draft keel, … she was was lightly used and well maintained. The engine had less than 900 hours when we bought her.

If you are looking for a boat that is ready to take you away on your next adventure, I think you are on the right tack track.

Running Rigging, Standing Rigging and Sails

Above is from a few years ago, sails are still in great shape. We’ve since added a small pennant to the head sail to lift it up over the lifelines and give us a better line of sight of what’s in front under the sail.

  • Headsail: 115%, heavy duty with extra reinforcement, made by Precision Sails. Put onto the boat spring 2021.
  • Mainsail: heavy duty with extra reinforcement, two reefing points and cunningham. New 2021.
  • North Sails Quick Cover with Lazy Jacks: saw this on a friend’s CS34 and loved it so we got one for ourselves. Single zipper and one extra panel to quickly drop and secure the main sail. No sail ties! New 2022.
  • Sail track: to make hoisting and dropping the sail easier we installed an easy gliding track made by Tides Marine. It includes stainless slugs on the main sail. New 2021.
  • Dynema main halyard: our previous halyard got snagged and had some damage, replaced with a stronger Robline Globe Pro dynema 10mm line with Wichard 8mm Halyard Key Pin Shackle 2025.
  • Standing Rigging: inspected and an perfect shape
  • Mast: Two spreader mast made by isomat is strong and well supported.
  • Hydraulic Backstay: inspected and cleaned 2022 and works perfectly
  • Lines: All lines were replaced in 2019 are still in great shape
  • Jiffy Reef System: boom includes a jiffy reef system to access both reefing points on the sail without leaving the cockpit. Opened up the boom to fix the blocks and insert new lines in 2019.
  • 12 blocks in cockpit: All lines lead into cockpit through 12 blocks with four available winches (Lewmar 30) on coach roof. Lines go to five separate line organizers to keep things neat in the cockpit.
  • Two head sail winches (Lewmar 42) with sliding Genoa/Jib sheet track

Galley

The galley is surprisingly functional on a boat this size, even cooking for larger groups of guests. The expanded use of the nav table as a fridge/freezer is a great use of space.

  • Refrigerator / freezer: Novacool LT200 with compressor in starboard lazarette.
  • Ice box: Large separate ice box next to sink. We kept this cold by freezing bottles in freezer and moving it over into ice box.
  • Hot water: Seaward stainless heater keeps water hot with both 110v and engine.
  • Pressurized water: Fresh water pressurized with variable speed pump with separate accumulator for smooth water delivery. New 2023.
  • Manual water pumps: Separate pumps for both fresh and raw water.
  • Stove / oven: Force 10 two burner propane stove with oven. Advanced safety switch for propane with remote solenoid to the tank (located in vented aft cockpit locker). Propane sniffer with automatic shut off and alarm. Custom fit cutting board to provide more counter space.
  • Dual sinks: One larger and one smaller with custom fit cutting board to provide more counter space.

Electronics

Everything was upgraded in 2023 to latest Raymarine gear. All old wires removed and everything simplified down to a single SeatalkNG backbone for compatibility, reliance and maintenance. Displays were moved from the binnacle to the front of the cockpit to make them more accessible while sailing. All wires in the cockpit are hidden and running through binnacle.

  • Axiom 9RV MFD – main chart plotter mounted on binnacle
  • Samsung Tab Active Tablet – backup chart plotter mounted on sturdy powered RAM mount mounted on binnacle. This is an industrial grade tablet that is waterproof, drop resistant, can work with gloves and harsh environments and includes a pen. I love this tablet. It’s a tank. And is used for so much more than just navigation.
  • Raymarine Evolution Pilot Kit w/EV-100 Wheel (for boats up to 16,500lb displacement)
    • p70s display – mounted in cockpit
    • EV-1 sensor – 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion in all three dimension
    • ACU-100 – Actuator Control Unit houses the main power and drive electronics.
    • Wheel drive – continued to use existing wheel drive since it was compatible. Have the new wheel drive as a backup.
  • Raymarine i70s – mounted in cockpit, a multifunction Instrument with digital, analog, and graphical displays of depth, speed, wind, and more.
  • Raymarine iTC Instrument TDX Converter – takes analog signals from the wind, depth, speed through water sensors and puts it onto the SeatalkNG backbone.
  • Raymarine Wind Anemometer (E22078) – at the top of the mast, measures wind speed and direction
  • Raymarine Depth and Speed sensors – through hulls measuring speed through water with an in water removable paddlewheel.
  • Raymarine external GPS receiver (RS-150) – greatly increases the accuracy of your position and track in water.
  • Standard Horizon VHF with DSC – this came with the boat, I’m not sure when it was added but it works flawlessly and has an second mic attached to the binnacle. Has option to add GPS through NMEA 0183 for automatic DSC distress call but I haven’t connected it.

The following gear are things we don’t think are needed for most coastal, lake sailing and are not included in the sale.

  • Raymarine Quantum 2 w/doppler radar – on custom stainless mount from the solar arch
  • Raymarine AIS700 Class B transceiver
  • PredictWind DataHub – provides NMEA data over Wi-Fi, boat tracking and more with a PredictWind subscription.

Electrical

We added 660 watts of solar to our boat in 2021 and it was a game changer for cruising. We used to constantly watch, monitor and limit our power usage. We never even think about it now. The boat is never plugged into shore power anymore. Again, we kept things simple by going with one well known and dependable manufacturer, Victron.

  • Two LG NeON 2 330 solar panels – mounted on custom overbuilt stainless rack. Mounted in series.
  • Victron MMPT 100 | 30 solar charge controller with Bluetooth – easily monitor and control the solar from the Victron app on your phone/tablet.
  • Victron BMV-712s with Bluetooth – a simple display on the fuse panel and ability to monitor energy consumption through the Victron app on your phone/tablet.
  • Victron Phoenix 375 inverter – provides 700 watts peak, 300 watts continuous of pure sine wave 110v power. This was perfect low power and efficient way to power our outlets on board for keeping our laptops and other electronics running but not enough power for heaters, hair dryers, microwaves, … This inverter provides plenty of options for incorporating into a more complex and powerful system.
  • USB power in v-birth and cockpit (Blue Sea): Charge your phone and other USB devices.
  • Two house batteries and one engine/starter battery – these are isolated and switchable. This is the crux of the system with only 70ah of usable power. However, with our high output solar, even on cloudy days we only had two issues with power. On a long overnight sail with all electronics and lights on (including non-led nav lights that have now been replaced with led) we had to turn on the engine in the morning when power was dropping low. During our trip to the Bahamas we had four days of being stuck on board in bad weather we had to start the engine for 30 minutes on the fourth day to top up the batteries. I think this could be easily fixed with slightly larger batteries (there is space) and I would continue to keep Lead Acid batteries to simplify charging and insurance requirements.
  • Electrical Panel – this system was updated by the previous owner and had to be further modified by myself. This means I had to customize parts of the panel for new displays and it was a project I ran out of time on. I have CAD diagrams for a new panels but haven’t had a chance to complete this project.
  • All lights converted to LED – all house lights and nav lights are all converted to low-power and long lasting LEDs. Also includes three lights that are dual use for white/red lighting. We use the red lighting during overnight crossings to preserve our night vision.

Dinghy

  • Zodiac Cadet 310: showing her age and a few patches but still holds air and works great. I also love how it can pack right down into a duffle bag and be easily carried off the boat. Comes with attachable bow trunk.
  • Honda 2.3hp four-stroke with internal fuel tank: a simple and very light outboard that can easily be lifted by hand. It is extremely easy to maintain as there is no transmission (it rotates 360 degrees) and there is no water pump (it is air cooled). Purchased 2019.
  • Atkins and Hoyle davits: these are beefy and great looking davits for easily raising and lowering the dinghy from the sugar scoop. Installed by the previous owner, he had the back transom reinforced with a large metal plates and fiberglass.

Engine

Engine is the original Universal M4-30 four cylinder diesel engine with glow plugs. Propeller is an efficient two blade folding Gori. Engine is relatively low hours (approx 1800) and has been meticulously maintained with frequent oil and fuel filter changes. She has been very dependable for us. But no engine is perfect, we’ve had some minor issues and all have been corrected. This is the same engine used in a lot of Catalinas of the same year.

  • Engine panel in cockpit restored and new tachometer 2022
  • Fuel injectors serviced 2023 – preventative maintenance
  • Raw water pump replaced 2023 – previous pump bearings went. New pump is much easier to service and replace the impeller with access point on the front, not the back like previous Sherwood pump.
  • Wiring updated 2023 – factory wiring known to be undersized and unreliable. This caused the engine to fail to start (no power to starter solenoid).
  • Stuffing box repacked 2023 – preventative maintenance.
  • Front panel cracked – an oversized alternator caused a crack to form on the front gear case cover. This was removed, professionally welded and reattached with all new seals. With solar, we now have enough power to run a smaller alternator.

Head

For this size of boat it’s one of the few that offers a separate area to shower.

  • Sink with hot/cold pressurized water
  • Separate shower with hot/cold pressurized water with flexible hose shower head.
  • Shower drains into shower pan that is pumped out by a new (2023) gulper pump that doesn’t get clogged by hair or debris.
  • Wet locker can be used for hanging wet gear, next to hot water heater to help dry
  • Vanity
  • Full length mirror: It’s a bit more like a clown mirror but it works.
  • Manual flush head (Jabsco)
  • Raw water flush
  • Holding tank: 20 gallon / 75 liter with pump out outlet on starboard side deck
  • Y switch for tank or direct discharge: Note: it is illegal to use direct discharge except when offshore.

Other

  • Dodger and Bimini – aka the Canadian greenhouse. This was purchased and installed by the previous owner and frequently gets complimented on the quality and style. This extends your season by providing a warm refuge in the cooler days of the spring and fall.
  • Ground tackle – we love our anchor, it’s kept us secure in a few scary situations.
    • Mantis 35lb galvanized anchor
    • Mantis anchor guard – this is a rubber V on the bow roller that keeps the anchor secure
    • 176′ 5/16 chain
    • 50′ nylon rode
  • Steel folding cradle – in good shape and I’m updating the pads this fall.
  • Bottom Paint – the boat had Interlux Bottomkote Racing Bronze on the boat when we bought her and it was a non-ablative salt water compatible paint that we used on our trip down south. It worked well but required repeated scrubbing to keep clean. Interlux discontinued this paint in 2024 so we sanded the hull down and painted with the suggested paint by Interlux (we contacted Interlux directly). It is now coated with a light blue Interlux Micron CSC-CA. It is also salt water compatible but does require to be repainted. On bonus side, after our first season, there is nothing on the hull and I didn’t have to scrub it.
  • Cabin Cushions – reupholstered with Sunbrella in 2022
  • Cockpit Cushions – water friendly custom cushions in cockpit. Foam replaced in 2022
  • Documentation and history – I like to document everything, not only here in this website but in hundreds of files stored in Google Drive. This all comes with the purchase so you don’t have to search for this information yourself.
  • No surprises – we want to find a new owner that will be just as happy with Foggy as we are. I’m going to make sure there are no surprises. There are a few minor things. And there are things I have on my list to improve in the future. I’ll share all of this with any serious buyer.
