In 1997 Corsair began
production on the Corsair 28 and Corsair 28R, followed by the Corsair
28CC, now the mid-range mainstay of Corsair. The Corsair 28, like all of
its predecessors and current sisters, is an easily trailerable sport boat
because of its light weight and low profile on the trailer. As with other
Corsair trimarans, the transition from trailering to sailing takes about
30 minutes. The mast is raised or lowered using the installed winch on the
trailer as with all Corsairs. Everything about the Corsair 28 is designed
to get you on the water and across the water quickly, comfortably and
affordably. The Corsair 28CC, Corsair 28AC and Corsair 28R have roomy, functional
interiors with all the necessary amenities for comfortable overnight
cruising. There are sleeping accommodations for four, galley area with
two-burner stove, stainless-steel sink, fresh water tank and pump, and a
marine head with privacy curtain and a holding tank. Seat/bunk cushions
are standard and are available in over 40 colors and patterns, or may be
covered with customer-supplied fabrics as desired.
The carbon fiber mast of the Corsair 28R has the double advantage
of being more efficient and powerful on the water and of less weight for
easy handling on the trailer. The rudder, which pivots up 180-degrees for
trailering and the fully retractable daggerboard also enable you to pull
in close to shore and anchor in knee-deep water, or even put the Corsair
28 onto a sandy beach. Check the Corsair the Magazine back issues for Corsair 28 stories! |

| The Corsair 28AC (Aft Cockpit) - click here for photo gallery | |
|
With a well planned main cabin, the Corsair 28AC allows for family cruising even without the aft cabin; the V-berth is ideal for one or two children and can certainly accommodate two adults, and the settee area converts to two singles, or an expansion of the V-berth. |
Moreover, the reduction in weight and expansion of cockpit that results from eliminating and aft cabin makes this Corsair a bit faster and great for warm climates where less cabin space is required. It is the chosen model for "R" conversion. |
