Hi,
Some years ago I tracked down a equipment supplier for corsairs to a
business who were in Box Hill South Vic and have moved to Mitcham in
Vic. I think called "Blue Waters Marine" Might be a place to Start.

I'm looking to buy a new Corsair.  The link to the builder on the
National Association website doesn't seem to work: grateful any contact
details for the current builder of Corsairs.

I am interested in buying a corsair and trailer  in good
condition; I live in Newcastle. Please contact Michael Ph 0429832265.

This is a well known Queensland boat and has been very well looked
after by all owners.  She has competed sucessfully for many years and
won State Championships.  The trailor is registered and has a beach
trolley.  There are 2  sets of sails including spinnakers and spinnaker
pole.  All safety gear Boat is good condition - does not leak

Subject: [CorsairAustralia] Vagabond information



Greetings everyone!

I'm a member at Rhyll Yacht Club in Victoria, and I have bought a
Vagabond, which is a smaller version of the much loved Corsair. I am
trying to lay my hands on any information I can regarding the
Vagabond, ie hull, mast, sails, chandlery, centreboard and rudder
dimensions etc.

I have a feeling that mine may have been fitted with a "non-standard"
setup, and I'd like to return it to as-designed condition.

Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction please?

If anyone has a mast please call me on the number below

Hi All,  Now called the Bais Boating Warehouse Humpybash 2008.

As you are aware, we, Humpybong yacht club are hosting our once a
year "Humpybash" Sailing Regatta on the 16th and 17th of February
2008.
Boats will be arriving from as far south as Sydney and possibly as
far north as Hervey Bay and will range from junior sailors on
optimists, and minnows to the larger more powerful senior sailors on
their formula 18 catamaran's. The club intends to run two separate
courses to keep the Junior fleet and the senior fleets separated.
This should make some spectacular viewing from the foreshore of Woody
point and Clontarf Beach on the Redcliffe Peninsular  and on the
waters of Bramble Bay.  With all sorts of coloured spinnakers and
sails a blaze.  Humpybong yacht club expects 45 to 50 boats for this
regatta.

Some of the sailors From Humpybong Yacht Club, on their formula 18
catamarans will be in training to contest the Formula 18 Catamaran
World Championships to be held in Galicia, Spain in July 2008.  The
tension between these boats will be high and the racing close, fast
and furious.  Also on the weekend the Mirror Class will be making
another appearance, these are a small red sailed 13 ft mono hulls
which also has a small spinnaker.The racing is very close between
these boats as well.  During a regatta they will be contesting their
Head of the Bay for their class.  Humpybong Yacht Club is also proud
of the fact that we will again host junior sailors from around the
region.  These juniors will have their course set close inshore so
that Mum and Dad can keep an eye on them.  Most of these junior
sailors will be sailing on small monohull dinghies such as,
optimists, sabots and minnows  Some of these juniors will  be sailing
on small Arrow Catamarans very fast for a young budding sailor.
Humpybong Yacht Club is excited about this as in the close future we
hope to have our learn to sail classes in progress bus of attracting
more young people to the sport of sailing.  These classes will extend
to adults learning to sail to hopefully increase membership within
our club.

The action will start on Saturday the 16th of February 2008 with the
first race kicking off around 12:30 p.m., three races are gazetted
for the afternoon and will all be raced back to back.  This means the
boats will remain on the water until all racing is finished for the
day.
Sunday the 17th of February 2008 will see race 4 commence at around
10:30 a.m. boats will return to the beach for lunch and then again
races five and six will be held back-to-back on Sunday afternoon from
1:30 p.m.

Some of the action could possibly be heard on the local radio station
99.7 FM with the possibility of some live cross interviews over the
weekend.

Humpybong Yacht Club would also like to take the opportunity to thank
their supporters:



Moreton Bay Marine supplies

Brisbane Catamarans Centre

The Professionals Real Estate Woody Point

North Sails Brisbane

  99.7FM the local radio station.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any information on where you et control boards for
corsairs. Are they a standard item from a manufacturer or do people
just build their own?

Thanks,

Matthew

This Corsair is at Maroochydore in SE Qld. It is being sold without a
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 .
