About the Corsair F-31

At 9.32 m the Corsair F-31 is a small, fast trimaran for day sailing, racing and weekend cruising. A draft of only 0.45 m lets her reach shallow anchorages that keelboats cannot use.

Corsair trimarans go back to the folding-float designs of Ian Farrier. The floats fold in for trailering and marina berths, which makes these boats unusually versatile.

Buying a used Corsair F-31

• Early boats are now more than 25 years old: check the structure, deck core and chainplates carefully.
• Standing rigging, sails and electrics have often been replaced at least once – ask for invoices.
• Operate the float-folding system and check its hinges and fittings.
• Always commission an independent survey with a haul-out – see our buying checklist.
