Re: [CorsairAustralia] Re: What's it worth?

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 from the age you gave though. The hull number
would confirm it though. Generally the smaller the number, the older the boat.
They started off at about 100. The latest batch to be produced are up to about
1100.

As far as I am aware, the Victorian Association has been virtually inactive for
several years. It would help if I knew where you are in Victoria as I could
point you in the direction of clubs that still sailed them. When I was last in
Victoria (1992) I knew they where sailed at Rosebud Yacht Club because I saw
half a dozen in the yard. They were also sailed on Lake Hume from the Albury
Yacht Club. There are probably other places they were sailed but those are the
only two places that come to hand easily.

To answer your question - I don't think there is a lot of demand for Corsairs in
Victoria.

Regards
Paul Hindge.

Thanks Brian,

I am in Victoria... what's the demand and supply situation in that
state like?

Doe the possibility that it's a De Havilland hull rather than a later
BWM hull make any difference to it's value?

Thanks again,

Sam Coates

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...

It really depends upon the state in which you live. Corsairs are more popular in Queensland and NSW and therefore more expensive. In WA, if you can get one,...

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...
