Seller's Description
I’m at the point where I need to give up my project boat. Life has changed and different opportunities take priority.
This is a folding trimaran of Ian Farrier design and built by Corsair in California. She rides on a tandem axle galvanized trailer. This model has the galley kit and a marine head. The MkII is the version with the rotating mast, retracting daggerboard and kick up rudder.
She needs fiberglass work. I originally bought her to rebuild into a fast cruiser. At $11k, I’d be taking a loss, but hate to see her sitting with nothing moving forward. She was involved in an auto accident before I purchased her.
Fiberglass work needed: Starboard amma is broken in the aft end(collision point). There are several scuffs around the hull, including one spot on the bottom of the main hull. The beams suffered damage but I had rebuilt at a carbon fiber shop in Seabrook, TX.
Needs: Sails Nets A couple of the interior cushions Forestay(assume the original was in a furler and that got taken) Pop top(assume it was taken too) Running rigging
New tiller handle and access ports included.
My plan was Luna Rossa silver paint, black nets, Mylar/Kevlar square top main and full batten jib. Synthetic(Dynema) standing rigging for weight. I wanted a fast cruising trimaran that would look like nothing else out there. Its the perfect platform for it. Life gets in the way of dreams sometimes.
Ive sailed and brokered many different Corsair models over the years and they have never disappointed. This one is that blank platform to build what you want.
Clean, clear title in hand. Serious inquires only. This isn’t a turnkey boat.

Calculations

11.2 kn
Classic: 6.51 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
39.5
>20: high performance
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
61.2
<100: Ultralight
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
2.5
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
5.9
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
