61	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...	kenneth_mark_webster kenneth_mark...	Oct 31, 2003 2:31 am
62	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...	graham corsir535	Nov 1, 2003 3:37 pm

67	Hello Lucas, There are sometimes second hand masts around, but I do not know who might have one for sale at the moment. Another option are those chandlers or...	timb843	Nov 21, 2003 11:20 am

70	Hello all, When my website for Corsairs went offline my archived photos were no longer available. I have placed those photos for the 2000-2001 National...	timb843	Nov 29, 2003 8:41 am
71	I'm a novice Corsair sailor and seek some clarification on the attachment points of the forestay and jib on a Corsair. Based on the previous owners advice I...	gregb665	Jan 12, 2004 4:31 am
72	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...	paul hindge paulhindge	Jan 12, 2004 11:43 am
73	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...	sam_g_sea	Jan 19, 2004 8:40 am
74	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,...	graham pettitt corsir535	Jan 20, 2004 1:26 am
75	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...	sam_g_sea	Jan 20, 2004 7:38 am
76	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...	paul hindge paulhindge	Jan 20, 2004 1:08 pm
77	Can anyone provide some advice on jib luff tensioning systems. My jib is currently fixed to the wire rope at both ends providing no means of adjustment. I...	gregb665	Jan 22, 2004 11:59 pm
78	Hi Greg To be competitive, it is essential to be able to adjust just about everything on the water. Conditions change and different points of sailing require...	Ken Webster kenneth_mark...	Jan 23, 2004 12:31 am
79	This is probably a very basic question and perhaps not appropriate for this group - please let me know if that is the case... I am now the proud owner of an...	corsair_136	Jan 27, 2004 5:46 am
80	Hi Sam This certainly seems unusual, I have to ask some silly questions just to discount some basic things. Are you new to sailing? Did you have the...	Ken Webster kenneth_mark...	Jan 27, 2004 11:36 pm
81	Thanks for your great reply Ken, ... I've never owned a boat, until now, but have spent many summers on Sabots, windsurfers and the corsair I now own... so I...	corsair_136	Jan 28, 2004 4:21 am

87	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...	yachtie2k4	Apr 1, 2004 10:17 am
