Operational history

File:CS30.jpg

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)."{{cite web|url = http://sailquest.com/market/models/cs30.htm|title =CS 30 |accessdate = 8 December 2021|last=McGoldrick |first=Michael |work = Sail Quest|year = 2018|archive-url= https://archive.today/20211208013709/http://sailquest.com/market/models/cs30.htm|archive-date= 8 December 2021|url-status= live}}
