Image The key to the popularity of Corsair boats is their superior folding mechanism, which makes launching from a trailer a snap. You can view a animation of the Corsair folding system, but nothing beats hands-on experience. So, come see one for yourself. Windcraft usually has several models available for viewing or demo sailis, from the affordable and exciting Sprint 750 and Corsair 24 to the larger Corsair 28 center cockpit and Corsair 28R, the Corsair 31, including the most popular model in the Corsair lineup, the Corsair 31 center cockpit "Ultimate Cruiser" , and the awesome Corsair 36 blue water cruiser. The Corsair 36 is designed and engineered with serious bluewater cruising in mind. Please e-mail us for a brochure or call for more information.

The aft cockpit Corsair 28R and the center cockpit Corsair 28 (Corsair 28CC) are proving to be extremely popular, which is not surprising, considering their similarity to the legendary Corsair F-27. More than 450 Corsair F-27s were built prior to the end of the production run in 1996. The Corsair 28CC is both lighter and faster than the Corsair F-27, but still has more interior room, can sleep six in a pinch, AND has a full galley and a fully enclosed head/bathroom. The Corsair 28R is the Corsair one-design racer and day sailer of choice.

Our favorite Corsair for cruising is the aft cockpit Corsair 31 "Ultimate Cruiser" with the rotating aluminum mast (see below) which turns out to be a truly wonderful cruiser/racer, and can even be competitive with Corsair 31Rs on the race course. We took a fantastic cruise to the Bahamas in our 1999 Corsair 31 center cockpit, and again in the summer of 2001 with our Corsair 31 Ultimate Cruiser in the company of several other Corsair 31s. We have seen some pretty good speeds while using the screacher on this boat: 17-18 knots is not uncommon, and we have seen a max of 21 knots. Although equipped with the full cruising interior, the boat competed surprisingly well against the R versions at the Corsair Nationals. We currently have a 2006 Corsair Sprint 750 available for immediate delivery. One of the pictures above shows a Corsair 31R on its way to winning the 1999 Ft.Lauderdale to Key West Race. The Corsair 31, with its crew of four reclining comfortably on the nets, finished several hours ahead of the fastest monohull, a giant 70 ft. multimillion dollar "race boat" with a crew of more than 20, all hiked out and plenty miserable.

These are just a few examples of the models available from Corsair, and we can of course provide you with any model in Corsair's line-up (Sprint 750, Corsair 24 Mk II, Corsair 28/Corsair 28R/Corsair 28cc, Corsair 31/Corsair 31R, Corsair 36). We have most models available for viewing and demos, 24,s 28s and 31s. Sailing one of these boats just ONE TIME will convince you of their efficiency, simplicity, practicality and superb performance, and you will wonder why anyone would want to sail anything else. While other boats rapidly depreciate, Corsairs typically hold their value well, with used F-27s sometimes selling for more than what they cost new. This more than offsets the somewhat high initial cost, unavoidable in a folding trimaran with so many components to build and assemble (3 hulls, 4 cross beams and four folding mechanisms).
