I've been lucky enough to sail a friend's Corsair on and off for
years - and have just recently discovered that they are willing to
sell it to me.

I wonder if any of the members here could give me some idea of what
it's worth based on the following information.

Made in late sixties early seventies approx.
Lots of use.
Lived most of it's life in a boat shed - but used by many and cared
for by few
Main (very loose) and jib with some rust spots, no spinnaker
self bailers rusted and difficult to activate
rudder very worn
no trailer
hole in which the mast is threaded when raising is well worn

Having said all that - it's still very fun to sail (just had it out
last weekend).

Do you need more information?

Kind regards,

Sam C

Hi Sam, Paul Hindge here from WA as well. No it doesn't make any difference who made it as far as price is concerned. It sounds like a De Havilland version...

Hi Sam, I think it does make a difference who made it, because they are currently being built for the Navy Cadets by a panel beater under contract to BWM. The...

The difference in performance between de havilland boats and BWM is considerable. The older masts pre-meteric are far better in performance in hevy conditions...
