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, they are about $600-800 (and VERY rare).

A new main will cost $800+, a jib about $400 plus.

By the 'hole in which the mast is threaded', I assume you mean the
tabernacle.  They are easily made yourself (from reasonably thick marine
ply), likewise the rudder blade.  Self bailers can be purchased - don't know
the cost, assume about $80 each.

Trailers vary, but second hand ones are usually available in the paper from
about $200.  My last new one, many years ago, was $1200.

To determine the age of the boat requires the hull number (on the mainsail
or the number on the plate at the back of the centreboard case).  Boats were
distributed from about 1967 onwards.  My boats are 535 and 539 which are De
Havilland hulls which I believe are 1972 manufacture. From 700 onwards (a
1978 build), the hulls are made by Blue Waters Marine in Melbourne. Margaret
Moxon (snmmoxon@...) in Queensland will be able to give you
better information than I can, so long as you know the number.

Good luck with the boat - they are great fun.

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

The owners manual is correct Greg.

The main purpose of any jibsail is to point the boat effectively upwind. To do
that you need to get the tack attached to the boat as far forward as possible.
When the boat is tensioned up, all the weight of the mast and rigging will be
held by the jib luff and the forestay will hang loose. It doesn't matter where
forestay is attached at this point as it is only providing backup in case the
luff wire snaps. The important thing is to get the jib as far forward as
possible.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Paul.

I last saw 220 in WA 7 or 8 years ago carrying the name 'Blossom'.
Peter Tremlett owned it at the time.  He is no longer sailing,
although he is still involved with Safety Bay Yacht Club and with
YAWA.

Hi

I was recently given an old beat up sailing tender which has re-
awoken my interest in sailing.  Looking around at current active
classes, it seems the corsair is probably the most appropriate for a
family boat though I don't know how I might be able to afford even a
2nd hand one.  That aside, I am interested to find out if there are
any old aquaintances out there.

I used to sail at Oak Flats Club in Lake Illawarra from around 1969
to 1976.  First in manly juniours (Tangara 1381) and later with my
father or brother in a Vagabond (pisces 220) which had a distinctive
purple spinaker.

Together we sailed many regattas, CHS titles and NSW state titles,
usually comming in 2nd overall in the state.  In those days the Vags
and Corsairs had a close association. Looking at a recent Nationals
writeup, that may still be the case.  So maybe there are some old
friends here?

Also I am interested in any news of our old boat number 220.

Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd let you know about some of the nonsense that gets
sent through email.  I know its not sailing related but this group is
based on email so you might like to know.  Be careful about the
emails
you read and which ones to take seriously.

This was prompted by an email I received as moderator, as did
probably
the other moderators.  It was one of those "offers" to make one rich,
in terms of millions, if you help hide money, and you just have to
give all your contact and personal details.  Needless to say, this is
nonsense, and it is dangerous in that if you gave out all these
details, you could be a victim of fraud.  Don't believe things that
are too good to be true.  Note that non-moderators should not have
got
this message.

On the subject of emails, please be careful of viruses (or virii).
There are many viruses out on the Internet now.  The emails of this
group are stripped of all attachments, so they should be safe, but be
careful about any bizare links embedded in emails as well.

I know this is an off topic message, but I thought a friendly warning
might be appropriate.

On a lighter note, happy sailing and happy birthday to Ashley
Chapman.
  I hope I can make it to the party.

Tim

89 and still sailing in the Corsair State Titles


Ashley Chapman the president of the Corsair Class Association of NSW
sailed on Lake Macquarie this Easter. Mannering park yacht Club
hosted the event and we like to congratulate them on the excellent
service they provided. The sailing conditions were certainly not for
a novice sailor but Ashley a veteran on the tiller sailed all 5 races
over the 3 days. Ashley sails the Corsair 16ft sailing dinghy already
for 36 years and is not ready to give it up yet. Ashley celebrates
his 90th birthday this year and his club, Budgewoi Sailing Club, is
holding a huge birthday dinner and party in his honour.



The club hopes that everyone who has known Ashley, sailed with him or
admired his contribution to the community will reserve their place at
his party, to be held on the evening of Saturday, August 2, at the
Lake Munmorah Community Hall at Lake Munmorah. Early booking is
essential, to enable organisers to assess the size of venue that will
be necessary. Please call or email any one of the following to
reserve a place.

Dorothy Hamilton 02 4396 2485, Kylie Cook 02 4390 7454
(kylie.cook.@...), Laurel Garty 02 43 581131

Sunset skippered by Kevin Cook, 2nd 336 Deciduous skippered by Kathy

Hi Kyla,
We were looking at making it out of steel, then getting it hot dipped.  This
would be a fair bit cheaper than aluminium?  The main weight would be supported
by a canvas sling.
Thanks, Craig :)

Hey Craig,

I've seen a number of corsair cradles, mostly owned by cadet units.
Unfortunately I don't have measurements, however if no-one manages to
find a design for one I can probably do one up (before my current job
I moonlighted as an engineer, so it shouldn't be difficult).  That
way, there will be a copy of a cradle around for future use (I'll send
a copy to the Corsair association as well).  Any preference for
construction material?

Hey Craig,

I've seen a number of corsair cradles, mostly owned by cadet units.
Unfortunately I don't have measurements, however if no-one manages to
find a design for one I can probably do one up (before my current job
I moonlighted as an engineer, so it shouldn't be difficult).  That
way, there will be a copy of a cradle around for future use (I'll send
a copy to the Corsair association as well).  Any preference for
construction material?

Hi Tim,We don't need a road trailer, just something to go from the shed to the
water.  We're after a 'cradle/canvas sling thing' similiar to one I have seen
made for a 470.
Thanks for the reply,Craig

Hello Craig,
I gather you are referring to a supportive structure for the boat
when sitting on the trailer?  If so, some boats have supportive
fiberglass strips joined to the trailer, moulded to the shape of
the particular boat.  Exactly how these are made can probably be
explained better by someone else (someone who has made them for
their boats), but they do take spread the the weight of the boat
when on the trailer more evenly on the hull.

Hello Craig,
I gather you are referring to a supportive structure for the boat
when sitting on the trailer?  If so, some boats have supportive
fiberglass strips joined to the trailer, moulded to the shape of
the particular boat.  Exactly how these are made can probably be
explained better by someone else (someone who has made them for
their boats), but they do take spread the the weight of the boat
when on the trailer more evenly on the hull.

If you are looking for a rudder box the standard boxes are available
from Blue Water Marine in Melbourne.  Jim Buckland (a boat builder on
the NSW Central Coast) of Buckland Marine is a distributor for them
in NSW, I believe.
