The Corsair

Corsairs have been the first sailing boat for many families and have introduced hundreds to sailing. It is an excellent family boat and a good class racer. Racing crew is three people, and this makes handling simple and provides plenty of weight for heavy weather. They can however be comfortably sailed with a crew of two. There is no heavy work or athletic ability needed in handling the boat which means that both the young and old can cope well in almost all conditions.
