1968 CSK 35 Catamaran

Step aboard and you feel right away that this is a sailor’s cat, not a condo on training wheels. The long, lean hulls slip easily through the water, and the open bridgedeck keeps weight low and motion quick but predictable. The cockpit is big enough to work a sail change without tripping over crew, yet compact enough that singlehanding feels natural. Visibility forward and to the bows is excellent, making it far less stressful to thread moorings or tight anchorages. Underway, the light displacement rewards a fingertip touch on the tiller and small sail trim tweaks; you’re constantly nudging her into that sweet, fast groove instead of wrestling a heavy, sluggish cruiser.

In these waters, where light morning breezes can build quickly into a lumpy afternoon chop, this vintage CSK 35 really shines. The slim hulls accelerate in the smallest puff, so you’re actually sailing instead of motoring in marginal wind, yet the wide stance and bridgedeck clearance soften the ride when the breeze pipes up. Shallow draft lets you explore tucked‑away anchorages and sneak closer to the beach than most monohulls or heavier cats. The straightforward rig, modest systems, and protected outboard are well suited to a climate where boats live outside year‑round, making upkeep simpler while you enjoy quick evening blasts or relaxed weekend hops along the coast.
