This is Hull #100 !!! (Not really so momentous now but at the time it was a big deal milestone for the factory.)
The venerable Corsair F-27 Sport Cruiser features easy launching, shoal draft, fingertip control on the helm, and speeds that will make you the envy of your monohull friends.
Additional Details

Accommodations
The F-27 is a center cockpit boat with an aft cabin that, depending on your point of view, is a cozy double or a large single. The main cabin comfortably sleeps two and there is a rather small single in the v-berth.
The cushions are blue-grey, original and in fair to poor condition (one is quite worn and frayed - see photos). Teak sole.
There is a porta-potti chemical toilet in the v-berth.
Galley
Stainless steel sink w/ 15 gal water bladder Electronics
Bulkhead mounted compass in cockpit Electrical
Navigation lights Sails
Spinnaker, assymetric with ATN sock. Deck
Main and Spinnaker halyards replaced 2019 Additional
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The F-28, introduced in 1998, is similar but with a number of small updates including a rotating spar.
(Renamed CORSAIR 28 in 2001.)
