Manufacturer Provided Description
The F-27 is a unique combination of easily handled family cruiser,
exciting performance racer, and take-it-anywhere trailerable trimaran.
It's light enough for easy handling yet large enough for serious
offshore cruising. The wide, spacious decks and near level sailing
provide safety while the shallow draft means any beach is just an excuse
to pull in and play; other important features of this distinctively
designed and beautifully engineered boat include comfortable
accommodation and an exclusive folding system. Evolved from the original
Trailertri 18 - which was designed, built, and launched in Australia in
1974 - the F-27 has been engineered without compromise. Foam sandwich
construction is used throughout for its stiffness, excellent impact
resistance, insulation, and floatation properties. Interior moldings
further reinforce the hull and distribute point loadings in a totally
integrated structure. The result is a light, robust craft with
outstanding dependability. The single most important safety feature is
absolute unsinkability There are 12 watertight compartments and 3600
lbs. of built in foam buoyancy. Other safety features include the
ability to outrun unexpected storms. The rig is a well proven, highly
efficient fractional rig, strongly stayed, and with all control lines
led aft to the cockpit. A roller furling boom, plus jiffy reefing, is
standard equipment for super easy and efficient sail handling. A custom
maststep pivoting in line with the shrouds allows effortless
single-handed raising, and only the best, top quality hardware is
chosen. Speed, acceleration, and maneuverability make the F-27 a
pleasure to handle. The helm is always light and responsive, while
tacking is dinghy-like - it can even be done with the kick-up rudder
lifted clear of the water, using sails only. Continuous 360 degree turns
are possible, helm hard over, without touching the sails. As well, the
deep retractable daggerboard gives excellent windward capability. Actual
race results have proven it equal or superior to most 40 foot
monohulls. The cabin has been carefully designed with the cruising
sailor in mind. All facilities can be used while underway - the stove
doesn't even need gimbals. Quality workmanship and the finest materials
provide the luxury and prestige expected of a world class boat. The main
cabin features two single settee - berths, one on each side. There are
large storage areas under and behind the settees. A foldaway table
provides a dinette capable of seating four. There's plenty of counter
space and even a trash can in its own compartment. A pop-top gives
standing headroom in the galley area and exceptional ventilation, and an
optional cover can enclose and fully weatherproof for overnighting. A
fold-down Bimini top (for sun protection) and a full cockpit cabin are
also available to enclose and completely weatherproof the central
cockpit area. The central cockpit works well in a high stability
multihull, as the crew are not required to all sit out on the weather
side. A long cockpit is unnecessary and you can then have a surprisingly
roomy aft cabin. This has proven to be the most popular berth (big
enough for a double) while it also makes a great kids' cabin with plenty
of room for toys and things. Another berth is located in the forward
cabin along with a private head area and an optional vanity unit. On
deck, the F-27 offers features unobtainable in yachts of similar size,
with its space and lack of heel. The skipper will often be left alone,
as the crew will soon find many more interesting spots. The bow nets are
a favorite for watching the main hull knife through the waves, and the
wingnets are ideal for sun-bathing or sleeping under the stars on warm
summer nights. There's even enough room to carry a full size dinghy. The
self-draining cockpit has lockers each side - one for storage, the
other for the gas tank. Additional jumbo size storage areas are in the
floats, these being ideal for those bulky extra sails. With no need for
a heavy keel, the F-27 is light and has excellent trailering
characteristics. The low towing weight allows the discovery and
exploration of many previously out-of-reach cruising grounds, and
trailering also offers a significant saving in dock fees and
maintenance. Rigging and launching can all be done singlehanded in less
than 30 minutes. Everything is designed to get on the water faster. The
shallow 14" draft avoids having to completely sink the trailer for
launching, and launching is always done folded so no more space is taken
at the ramp than with a conventional boat. Once afloat, stability is
excellent and the F-27 can be quite safely motored in a folded
condition. If desired, the F-27 is easily docked in a marina.
Singlehanded folding takes only two or three minutes, and is done by
manually moving an inner beam end. Little force is required as the
float's movement is mostly horizontal. The wingnets fold or tension
themselves automatically, and there is no need to undo or reface these.
Folding can be done in smooth water, rough water, or even while
motoring. There are no restrictions of any kind. The most important
feature of the Farrier folding system is the absence of hinges of any
kind in the beams. The folding system has been engineered to actually
strengthen the boat. Each beam is bolted down into the center hull with
one bolt, the receiving bolt pad being bolted into a reinforced internal
bulkhead. However, these bolts are superfluous, as all sailing strains
are actually absorbed by the folding struts. Sailing is thus possible
without bolts in the beams at all. The folding struts are precision
engineered from solid high strength aluminum with glass reinforced nylon
bush inserts insulating them from the stainless steel pivot pins. A
built-in outboard well, just aft of the cockpit, puts the outboard in an
easily reached position. The prop is well forward, similar to an
inboard prop, helping to avoid cavatation, which is often a problem with
transom mounted outboards. Once underway, the outboard can be tilted up
clear of the water. An 8 hp motor is ample, giving a cruising speed of 6
to 7 knots. The Corsair Marine F-27 is now out of production, with
over 450 made between 1986 and 1996.
