The latest model from Corsair Marine is called the DASH 750, a development of the Corsair 24 and Sprint 750. This exciting new boat from Corsair Marine has the mast, sail plan and efficient foils (daggerboard and rudder) from the sporty Sprint 750, an interior similar to but improved upon that of the Corsair 24, and boasts higher buoyancy floats with plumb bows. The DASH 750 is a great looking boat, with vastly better interior accommodations than a Sprint 750, but like the other Corsair trimarans, it's an excellent performer.

The Dash 750 was  featured in the April 2010 issue of Cruising World, where the editors strongly praised the Dash for its performance and practicality. The Dash 750 was also the runner up in Sailing World's Sport Boat of the Year competition. The judges all agreed that the Dash was the MOST FUN BOAT TO SAIL OF ALL those tested. The Dash was also reviewed in the 2010 edition  of Sail Magazine's "New Sailboat Review".

Background and profile of the DASH 750

The Corsair DASH 750 was launched on New Year's Day 2009. In the next 12 months of 2009 as the Global Financial Crisis really got going, so did this tough little pocket cruiser. Not only was it sailing at "close to 14 knots in 12-14 knots of breeze", it also accounted for half of our sales in 2009.

The DASH is compact, easily trailerable and ideal for camp style cruising and day sailing. Other adjectives used to describe this boat are that it is tough, lightweight, sporty, exceptionally fast, responsive and safe.

The DASH was developed from the well proven Corsair 24 MkII. This new model incorporates the same innovative folding system and accommodation features of the previous model. It has a modern rotating wing section mast, retractable alloy bowsprit and a modern alloy dagger board, dagger rudder, plumb bow and larger volume floats (ama).

With its open space cabin, optional cruising amenities and spacious decks and nets, the Corsair DASH 750 is a highly mobile pocket cruiser. However, it is the amazing performance of the DASH - with '20 knots plus' speed capability - that sets this Corsair apart.

If you want some high planing action, fly the easy to handle asymmetrical spinnaker or screecher for exhilarating performance!

Summaries of several reviews of the Dash 750 are provided below.  Links to the full reviews are available for most.

• New Sailboat Review , Kimball Livingston, May 2010. There'll be smiles all round aboard this hot performer; Reinforced... with carbon fibre... and kevlar; The added power; The hardware is first rate; A modular galley sink and single burner alcohol stove; Place for a porta potti and a cooler; Everything was smooth; I could not fault the boat's behaviour; We wafted along at speeds of 11-15 knots (the boat will top 20, I'm told); My host related stories of cruising... with his wife and six-year-old daughter and how the youngster thrilled to the high speed reach on the way home. He didn't sound like a salesman. He sounded like a dad; If any of these statements fit - I want to cruise on a hot rod; I sail in shallow water; I want to mix racing with my cruising; I want to trailer my boat to distant cruising grounds; I want to pull up onto the beach - you owe yourself a ride on the DASH.
  
  
• Cruising World Magazine, Alvah Simon, April 2010. (The DASH's) real reason d'etre lies in its blistering speed and fingertip responsiveness... The DASH 750 will match and even exceed most wind speeds. It sails smartly upwind and is absolutely unleashed on a beam reach.... Downwind sailing (is) as easy as it is exhilarating. (I felt) completely comfortable with the uncomplicated systems... It's built in Vietnam with the latest materials and technologies; quality control is closely monitored. [April 2010]
  
  
• Cruising World Magazine, Bill Springer, 15 December 2009. The Corsair DASH 750 is a trailerable trimaran that had the judges absolutely beaming at its ability to sail at close to 14 knots in about 12 to 14 knots of breeze. That's something the other boats in this category simply can't claim.
  
  
• NewBoats.com Alvah Simon. The Dash 750 simply rips. Are you ready to match boat speed to wind speed, knot for knot, well up into the 20s? Simply said, the Dash 750 is portable, affordable, fast, and fun.
  
  
• Cruising World Magazine, Carol Vernon, 16 September 2009. "The SPRINT is tricked out for sailing at speeds up to 20kts... Folding to a road legal 8'2" and weighing just 1,690 lbs, she is easy to trailer behind most cars/suvs, greatly increasing cruising opportunities and reducing storage costs."
