Hi all,
Does anyone have any information on where you et control boards for

just build their own?
Thanks,
Matthew

trailer, but it is complete, and ready to sail . It is many years old ,
so the buyer can expect to do some occasional repairs.
I have set a low price because I want a quick sale .

Hi,
I am based in Brisbane and would like to buy a Corsair, use to sail
them in Cadets a long time ago and I have the bug back.
The boat would need to be on a registered trailer and in good
condition, all Chandlery must be in good working order, I want to be
able to get this and
start sailing. It doesn't have to be perfect, just in good condition. I
only have a budget of $2000.00 so I am hoping there is something
suitable out
there.
I can be contacted on 043344 6933 or at richard@... if

* * How to Rig &Tune your Corsair * *
This is a much sought after question. We are now in the process to make
a booklet that will give you guidelines with the running and standing
rigging & tuning of your boat. If you would be interested to assist us,
this would be much appreciated. We are interested in the following
articles; Mast rake and Mast bend, boat tuning etc. If you think your
boat is rigged differently send us a photo & summary.
Sent your articles, photo's to the NSW Secretary.
Happy sailing Doreen
Hi Tim I am making a booklet with handy hints to rig, repair etc a
Corsair. I saw your messages to Marcus and you mentioned that you
added a image of the plate and the location (see story below) but I
can't find it.
Would it be possible to email me this image because maybe I can use
it for the booklet.
Could you email it please to corsairnsw@...
Thank you. Best regards Doreen
