Solo Sail, Family Fun or Race with Mates

The Corsair 760 offers a incredibly versatile platform that can be  folded away and transported by trailer to your favourite destination, but unfolds to provide space, speed and stability when sailing. Optimised for short handed sailing, it’s ideal for a solo adventure to a remote location, or a great way to teach the kids how to sail while having fun…but when racing season starts, you will be always at the front of the fleet with incredibly efficient apparent wind performance only a trimaran can offer.

Convenience of driving

The Corsair 760 folds up to standard trailer width and with a total weight under 2 tonnes with a double axle trailer, it can be towed by most regular 4WD vehicles and stored in a cost effective manner. The mast raising system makes it easy to raise and lower the rig and launch the boat using just the winch from the trailer.

Cruising World has named the Corsair 880 Sports Boat Of The Year in the 2021 Boat of the Year competition! What an amazing achievement and positive encouragement to our entire Corsair team. A countless number of hours have gone into the design and development of this project and we are so grateful to receive this affirmative feedback confirming the positive impact of all of our hard work.

The Corsair 880 trimaran is built to be completely safe and comfortable for sailors of all skill levels. With the additional comfort features such as air conditioning, heating, refrigerators and more makes the Corsair 880 a revolution for performance trimarans.

Let’s take a look at the top 5 reasons why the Corsair 880 stands out in the busy market of sports sailing boats:

1. Built For All Adventures

Refreshingly modern yet simple interior design compliments the sporty nature of this speed machine. Careful attention has been paid to every detail of the boat to commit to cruising comfort that cruising sailors wish to experience without compromising on performance. The main hull is built to make sure it can deliver the mission of comfortable sailing adventures with full standing headroom. Moreover, the saloon area gives you enough space such as for reading, dining and relaxing. For instance, the galley offers a considerable space for cooking and meal preparation, a compact fridge and stove which should be more than enough for this sporty cruiser.

2. Extraordinary speed

Corsair Trimarans are well known for their ability to “fly” in the wind by generating their own high-power apparent wind. Without a lead keel to create drag, and with tangible buoyancy in design, construction technique and materials, Corsairs trimarans in general and the 880 especially are powered effortlessly by their high-performance design. Like most Corsairs, the Corsair 880 will easily surpass 20 knots.

3. Comfortable stability

Sailing the 880 at any speed and in almost all sea conditions, you will find the wide unfolded beam and huge buoyancy of these wave piercing floats a blessing. No more so is this noticable than when powered up on a reach as you watch those impressive amas “punch” through oncoming swell. The 880 design and construction applied the same traditional Corsair features that make them sail flat and fast, paired with the latest in hydrodynamics and CFD hull form design. All of this provides a supreme sense of security when sailing this rocket in even the worst of conditions, but add to this, the knowledge that a Corsair trimaran cant sink, allows you to sleep peacefully, even when scooting along at over 15kts.  In fact, even with with the hulls and all buoyancy compartments filled to the brim with water, the positive buoyancy of the materials of construction keep the vessel afloat even with all crew aboard.

4. Trailerability

The 880 is real cruising boat, yet trailerable across continents. Corsair is famous for the excellent trailering characteristics our trimarans offer, and this same ability proves true for the Corsair 880. Especially since she only takes a single handed sailor about 60 minutes to go from trailer to sailor and back again after a couple of practice runs. Corsairs fold up and extend effortlessly, the mast comes down in moments, the boats towed and trailered easily and smoothly which offers significant cost savings when compared to marina and on water maintenance fees.

5. Light Weight

Weight saving is one of considerable elements that Corsair takes very seriously in all of our designs. Exhaustive research has been put into the design of the 880 to eliminate unneeded weight, which itself makes the boat safer on the water as well as safer on the road through reduced braking distance and lower loads. A fully optioned Corsair 880 weights roughly 4410 pounds (2,000 kgs) ready to sail.

At 29 foot, the Corsair 880 continues a long and successful series in this mid sized cruiser, from the legendary Corsair 27, the Corsair 28  and now the revolutionary 880, this model is destined to once again be considered a legend among real Sport boats.

The Corsair 880’s Interior Design

Corsair 880 To Be 2021 Best Sport Boat Of The Year By Cruising World

This was written by one of our owners. He has a Corsair 24 Mk-II that he keeps in Newport, RI.

I grew up as a kid sailing in the shallow waters of the Bassin d’Arcachon, a protected sandy cove surrounded by big sand dunes and pine forest near Bordeaux. The Bassin is a former lake alongside the sea that eventually connected to the Bay of Biscay a few thousand years ago. Outside of the narrow passes you are in the open ocean with the big swell of the Basque Country, but inside it’s flat like a lake. I was sailing on various dinghies, hobie cats and windsurfers and the sentence “one day we’ll sail to Tahiti” always came to the conversation after our days of exploration on the water. Little did I imagine I would actually be sailing in the Islands of Tahiti on Corsair’s legendary trimarans 40 years later.

The Corsair are probably the best boats for fun sailing in French Polynesia. They are fast, they are easy to maintain, they can sail in very shallow waters yet they are seaworthy enough to go from one atoll to the next in the tradewinds that blow pretty much every day across our part of the South Pacific. Or you can tow them behind your car and send them on an inter-island transport ship.

The Corsair are probably the best boats for fun sailing in French Polynesia

French Polynesia is a huge area, the size of western Europe and comprises 118 atolls and islands for a population of under 300 000 inhabitants. We are right in the middle of the Pacific, a long string of atolls and islands distributed in 5 different archipelagoes: The Society Islands (Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Taha’a, Huahine, Raiatea, Maupitu…), the Tuamotus atolls, the Austral Islands, the Marquesas and the Gambiers. There are 3 different types of islands: high mountain islands like the Marquesas, with big jungle covered cliffs falling into the wild ocean. Atolls like in the Tuamotus made of a ring of coral. All around the ring you find tiny sand islets. Inside the atoll the waters are usually calm and shallow. They are like an oasis in the middle of the ocean, with incredible amount of sea life, colorful fish and coral heads. They usually connect to the ocean through a pass but some are completely closed. The Society islands and Gambier islands are a mix of the two: high mountain islands surrounded by a lagoon separated from the ocean by a coral ring.

This makes for very exhilarating multihull sailing: you can glide on the flat waters of the atolls and lagoons in 15+ knots, or sail offshore in the big rolling swells that cross the Pacific.

I have raced 4 times in the Tahiti Pearl Regatta on a Corsair Pulse 600. The TPR takes place each year in May in the Leeward islands of the Society group: Huahine, Taha’s, Raiatea and the world famous Bora Bora. Each morning there is a round the mark race inside one of the lagoons, followed by an offshore race to the next island: https://youtu.be/xI16Y0rYQr8 .The Corsair Pulse 600 have been incredible to race: super-fast and nimble in the protected and shallow lagoons, and completely safe in the open seas. In fact, we have taken line honours in almost all of the legs. In 2018 world famous multihull sailor Loic Peyron participated and we did some match racing with him on the Pulse 600 ( https://youtu.be/OaIoL6vb6O0 )

In January 2020 we delivered a brand new Corsair 37 from Tahiti to the atoll of Tikehau, 180 miles away (https://youtu.be/fkSzUAUmePo ). The Corsair 37 is now operated for day trips or longer sailing adventures by the Ninamu Resort. Contact them if you want to experience the holiday of a lifetime in one of the most remote private islands.

Sailing the Pulse 600 was just wicked fun!

Sailing the Pulse 600 trimaran: New Video

When Rob Wright, the owner of Wright Yacht Sales, asked me to fly up to Seattle to help commission and handover the all new Corsair 880 I jumped at the opportunity.

During the process of assembly every part easily fit together and build quality, especially for the first one out of the box, was solid. Not everything was perfect but I’ve learned from 40 years of commissioning boats to listen to what the boat is telling me and to find elegant ways to maintain the vision of her designers and builders and that was easy. That said we still had this handy little trimaran ready to splash in under 30 person hours with judicious use of the boatyard crane to help with ama attachment.

While commissioning I heard comments like “looks fast just sitting there” and “that’s one cool boat” while other comments ranged from “beautiful” to “sick.” I assume sick is a positive here.

We ramp launched late in the afternoon on a high tide, raised the mast in typically easy Corsair style and ferried her to her berth in Shilshole Marina for her first night in American waters. Bright and early the next morning we gave the 880 a bath to clean off accumulated boatyard dust and with the new owners we began to tidy things up, tightening nets and shrouds, stringing sheets and finally to bend on the Doyle Technora sails.

Typically there isn’t much summertime wind in the Pacific Northwest and doing this work in 70 degree temperatures with clear blue skys was a wonderful and calm way for us to become acquainted with the 880. As both partners came from I-14 dingy backgrounds they really appreciated this time to get acquainted with their first new “big boat.”

While we worked I was hopeful that the forecast was correct and that a Northerly would fill in the afternoon so after a quick lunch we pushed off from the dock to give it a go.

The 800 maneuvered easily in the marina, especially as the engine and tiller are linked and once we cleared the marina breakwater found that forecast breeze had arrived.

So much like our F-27 back home, the 880 retains that Corsair DNA and in minutes had our Main and Jib are hoisted, sailing full and by. Without doing much more than pulling the in the sheets we were doing close to 7 knots in 6 to 8 knots of wind.  We fiddled around with fairlead positions, outhaul, cunningham and sheet tensions, set rotation to an optimal position and right away we began to point well up to weather, light on the helm and well balanced. Like any multihull she liked weight far forward in these conditions and once we got our weight out of the back of the boat she responded with close to a half knot more of speed. It’s hard to know how well we were doing except that there was a 40 monohull going our way and we easily sailed through their lee slowly out pointing them once we cleared them.

Several miles up the sound the wind increased to 9-10kts as we all took turns at the helm, talking about feel and tried different settings and with every little change the 880 felt better and better culminating in fairly steady 7 to 7.1 knots of boat speed. With the water very flat we did encounter occasional powerboat wakes but the boat recovered quickly with barely a pitch and little tendency to hobbyhorse. Yes the waves would slow us a bit but in seconds she’d rebound and come right back up to speed.

Several tacks up the Puget Sound, most the seven miles to Edmonds, we bore away and set our Asymetric Kite and off we went. Alex, one of the boat’s partners at first said, this doesn’t feel all that fast and quite frankly I’d have to agree except that my little handheld GPS told a different story; in not more than 10 knots of wind we were sailing steady a 10.8 to 11.1 knots! Totally a Cadillac ride; smooth, comfortable, no drama. As we neared Shilshole the wind had risen to 12 knots so we executed a Mexican douse onto and lined up on the entrance unfurled the Screecher on what was close to a beam reach, just to give it a try, and rocked the sail right up to the breakwater. All at over 9 knots.

Huge thanks to Perius Design, Richard, Mike, Shane and the entire team in Vietnam for an awesome trimaran. And thanks to Wright Yachts for the opportunity to be the first American sailor to sail this wonderful new Corsair. If ever a boat were a worthy successor to the venerable F-27 the 880 makes a strong case.
