I know trimarans are safe but what do they offer me over a monohull or a catamaran?
A: Corsair designs have an excellent safety record due to their stability, unsinkability and conservative rigging. A Corsair trimaran unlike a monohull or a catamaran offers you versatility with its uniquely patented folding design, accessibility to places boats with fixed keels and fixed daggerboards/rudders could not access (resulting in true solitude and escape), beachability for those who enjoy stepping directly onshore and best of all, affordability. Everything you could possibly want in a ‘form follows function’ design.
