Seller's Description

This 2001 Corsair 28 Trimaran gives you a great combination of a family cruiser and offshore racer, and with her trailer-ability, you can take her anywhere you want to go! Trailering also offers a significant saving in dock fees and maintenance, and her 16” draft means she is easy to launch without having to completely sink a trailer.

There are two swim ladders, a team table that can be used below or in the cockpit, a large CDQ anchor, and 30’ of chain and rode. This is also the only Corsair model with the head and aft berth.

She also features a Ray Marine GPS-chartplotter 9”, VHF, speed and depth, autopilot, compass.

The Bimini is newer. All in working order when last used, the owner confirms.

The boat includes all the mast raising equipment

Powered by a 9.8 Tohatsu electric start and power tilt engine running fine. Always used unleaded gas and ran freshwater through on layup. Three batteries, two are newer. Wiring has been redone. Newer LED lights in all cabins. Two gas tanks (3 gallon and 6 gallon). That would get you close to Key west from here.

If speed is your thing, then you will love this Corsair Trimaran. She will give you 10kn to 12kn off-wind. She’s a great boat for the keys or for enjoying any beach as she only draws 16” with the boards up, and 5’ with the boards down.

Comfortable cruising style accommodation, responsive handling, and effortless speed make the 28 Aft Cabin a pleasure to be on. The retractable daggerboard gives excellent windward capability. Downwind or reaching, you can mix it with boats twice her size!

You’ll find everything you need here with a refrigerator that runs off A/C or D/C power, sink, and a two-burner stovetop in the main salon plus a head with sink. There are also solar panels to keep battery charged.

She is efficiently rigged with all the control lines leading aft for convenient operation from the cockpit. All sails except spinnaker are composite material, maybe Mylar. None are Dacron. Main in very good to excellent condition. Original jib was hank on in excellent condition. The seller removed hanks and put it on a roller and tried it as a second jib for upwind. Did not work that well. Two large jibs. One about 2’ bigger on foot and luff then the other. The larger sail in good to very good condition. This would be a down wind or broad reach sail. Spare roller to put it on. The other large sail is just about new, a very nice sail that the seller used for downwind and close reach sailing and a good choice when sailing the boat alone. There is a brand new working jib on a roller also new. Seller never turn the spinnaker out of the bag but guessing it is in fair to good condition and maybe better based on the other sails. It is in a sock.

This vessel is about as seaworthy as they come. Her innovative design and advanced construction technology gives you a boat that can safely cruise anywhere.

Come see for yourself today, and get ready for some fun on the water!

Calculations

Hull Speed
11.5 kn
Classic: 6.87 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

11.48 knots
Classic formula: 6.87 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
41.0
>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.
41.03
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
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

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
66.4
<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
66.41
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
2.9
<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
2.88
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
5.7
>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
5.68
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Screacher: 358 sq ft/33.26m2
