I got a 36 ft steel Hull & added 2 wooden catamaran hulls each side. Strong yacht & sailing faster then a steel boat. Very cheap construction . This monster can go anywhere.
How does the 2006 model compare to this model. As it would be the only one I can afford and looks liveable. I'm willing to compromise comfort for speed so that's why I want a trimaran
The Corsair 37 has the classic Corsair design, they have upgraded the interior over the years but the general shape has not changed too much. The newest models (600, 760, 880) have inverted bows and more volume in the floats which don't really add much to the performance but give greater stability (you can reef a bit later). I hope it helps you ! Let me know if you want to discuss more
And their answer was along the lines of alright but best to reduce the size of the sails earlier. Boat was ok with some 40 knot squalls and kept sailing at 7 knots.
Il faut réduire la voilure suffisamment tot car un trimaran pardonne moins l erreur qu un monocoque mais on ne ralentit pas beaucoup pour autant. En fin de nuit on a eu un grain a 40 noeuds, on a juste affalé la GV par prudence car on était dans le noir et sous foc seul on marchait a plus de 7 noeuds au prés. De jour on aurait gardé la GV avec 2 ris mais il faut pouvoir surveiller l étrave sous le vent.
Bonjour, merci pour votre message, non pas de cours mais vous pouvez venir au yacht club de Tahiti et naviguer avec Thierry Hars qui a un plus petit Corsair
hi Jeff, lately we sailed the Corsair 37 from Tahiti to Tikehau again, this time straight upwind, with 3 meters swell coming from the back and 1.5 meter wind chop coming from the north, making very steep waves. It was uncomfortable but we felt completely safe
La position des 2 extincteurs derriere les feux de cuisson, c'est pas forcement une bonne idee... si il y a le feu, il faut passer ses mains au dessus pour attraper les extincteurs...
Bonjour Reynald, ce n est pas leur position normale nous n'avions pas encore fini d'installer tous les éléments. J espere en tous cas que cette petite nav sur un Corsair 37 vous a donné des envies d essayer :-)
A barrel with a small sail can sail offshore. The real question is can a Corsair sail offshore with creature comforts instead of just bare essentials which leaves you miserable. The answer is no. Unless, you want to pretend this is the 1800s and not the current technical age of refinements we now live in. Wish someone made an affordable trimaran that could offshore sail with modern conveniences aboard. Most manufactures are still producing vessels as though it were the 1820s when it comes to conveniences. Stuck in the passed.
I think a 50-foot version of the Corsair would solve that problem. I would keep a smaller rig on it to make it easy to handle and I don't think a smaller rig would affect performance that much either!
Great promo video for what it's really like to live that boat vs. seeing a dock tour
Thanks for your nice comment !

C'est bon! Merci!

The new boats are apparently good just keep away from the first of C36 Corsairs, they had issues with bulkheads blowing out and masts busting.
Translation for the previous comment: “And how would she do in 40 knots of wind?”

They will complain about the way you part your hair .
mais dans 40 noeuds ça donne quoi?

J'ai envie d'apprendre à naviguer sur ce trimaran. J'ai navigué que sur monocoque. Vous donnez des cours?

@@ricohunter9302 oui contacte le yacht club de tahiti
where can i find video of this boat in 6 ft swells?
I sailed an F27 in 8ft swell, no problems.

I have not see a video either. But I know it handles well on those waves. I’ll pull out my gopro next time I’m in high seas.

Why do sailing channels keep putting music over the top.
les corsairs sont tellemenyt peu confortables/ Mauvais choix. En plus a cote d un petit catamaran ils se trainent. J ai ete vraiment decu.

@@TheKaptainkraig Check the Rapido 50 trimaran. That's exactly what the Rapido yard wants to do. They have a 40, a 50 and a 60 footer
money will buy anything if you have enough of it. How about a trimaran built by Wally yachts, that would be sick.
