Q&A
Why is it so great to have the option of a folding trimaran?
A: It’s great because it’s foldable so therefore trailerable. When folded up it is easy and very convenient to berth. Basically, it’s great because of it’s convenience and cost efficiency due to its incredible versatility.

A: Corsair models are renown for their high performance capabilities and in all sorts of conditions! In fact, even on a gentle puff of wind they move quite quickly.

Is there a warranty on my newly purchased Corsair?
A: Yes – All new Corsairs come with a 5 year structural warranty.
What about the re-sale value?
A: Corsair Marine trimarans have an excellent reputation and are in high demand throughout the world in particular the USA and Europe but increasingly in Asia and the South Pacific. Used Corsairs have sometimes sold for a higher value than their original price making them an excellent investment for their owners.

I know trimarans are safe but what do they offer me over a mono hull 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 dagger boards/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.
