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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
What a great response, thank you Ken. Let me go through your questions... ... I've never owned a boat before, but I've done a few summers in sabots, wind...
Hi Sam Sorry about the really dum questions but they eliminate some obvious things. So we can look into the other possibilities. ... From: corsair_136...
Hello, The photo album for this group is still looking a bit sparce. Any photos (or articles) relevant to Corsairs in any way would be greatly appreciated. ...
Hello Craig, Just as a matter of interest my father runs a sailing school out of Rosebud YC in Victoria and have made a stainless steel beach trolley for 2 of...
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...
Why is there such a variation in hull shape between series of corsairs. the boat i am currently sailing is a 1100 series and is at least 2 inches slimmer than...
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...
G'day Scripture Union Victoria is looking to selling our 3 Corsair Yachts. These yachts are currently located at our Coburg office where they can be viewed....

Hi, I nicely picked up one of the Corsairs from the previous email on Ebay. A bit of a dream come true for me and my young family. She is in need of a little...
Hi, I actually have a bit of spare stuff lying around from my Corsair, I think I have about six sets of sails, some of which are not in too bad condition. I ...
