Bunk cushions are 4inch foam, with a softer hollowfill fibre top, and are very comfortable.

This floor slides away under the cockpit when not in use, where it can be used as an extra berth if needed. New white painted cabin top in the main cabin, the carpet was removed as it was so dingy. As the moulding is foam sandwich, it remains well insulated and there is not a problem with condensation. This work also revealed the very high quality of the original moulding and lamination. Extra storage area in galley, as well as useful fiddle rails to the work surfaces. Total length of the galley is over 6ft. Chart table with storage under. Origo 2 burner spirit cooker. Pumped cold water to galley and toilet sinks. Small hanging locker in the heads compartment. Full black out blinds for all windows and hatches, fixed with s/s poppers.

COMMENTS I looked at both aft cabin and aft cockpit Corsair 31s, and thought the aft cockpit was far superior. The saloon area is much more spacious, probably 2ft longer. The heads area has a proper wooden door, and is completely seperate from the forecabin, and does not obstruct access to the forecabin. The number of usable berths is the same. With the improvements detailed above, this is a really comfortable boat to cruise in comparison with other trailer sailors and legally trailable trimarans. The cockpit is bigger and easier to work. Access to the outboard is so much better, and you can get out of the dinghy straight into the rear of the cockpit. BUILD I was keen to get a Corsair F31 built by OSTAC in Australia, having read the comments by Iain Farrier that OSTAC boats were well built and reasonably down to weight, while some early American built boats were significantly heavier. In fact, he subsequently persuaded the director of OSTAC to move and run Corsair in America. I was also keen to get a boat with the original rudder design, as it is much less prone to ventilation at high speeds, as it is set under the hull, so the hull acts as a good end plate. I've fitted a 4:1 Dyneema rudder downhaul, which largely solves the problems of water spouting up which some people have described with this rudder. In contrast, a lot of owners of later boats with transom hung rudders describe difficulties with the rudder ventilating at speed. THE CORSAIR F31 Still in production, slightly stretched and now known as the Corsair 970. Iain Farrier got so many things right. The floats are just in the water at rest, so she doesn't flop from one side to the other, and so is very comfortable at anchor. Equally, they have quite a lot of rocker, and a V shaped bottom, so the windward float comes free of the water as soon as you are sailing, increasing light wind performance and tacking. The floats have most of their buoyancy forward. This eliminates any tendency to nose dive when sailing down wind fast. Also, as the floats have less buoyancy and are V shaped in cross section at the back, they do not allow the rear of the main hull to lift out of the water when it is windy. This is vital for saftey in a cruiser racer with a single rudder on the main hull. The rudder has to stay fully in the water for control. Reading the reviews of the new Dragonfly 36, it looks like they have got there now! Farrier was so advanced in his thinking. DOCUMENTS. Original sale receipts and evidence of VAT paid on import. All subsequent bills of sale. TRAILER EXTRA SBS 4 Wheel galvanised trailer available if required for 2000 pounds if purchased with the boat. New Dyneema winch line 2024. This includes 4 acro props with pads to lift the boat, so the trailer can be removed for antifouling. Also rear mast support, jinny pole and extra lower shrouds to stabilise the mast while lowering or raising. The trailer had a service and new s/s break cables in 2022 prior to my purchase. I have washed and removed the cables and brakes and they are stored in a dry shed if required for road use.
