Corsair 760 / Dana Point, California
The Corsair 760 is perfectly suited for one-design racing, where all of the competing boats are identical or very similar. With identical boats it ensures that no one competitor has an edge based on their boat rigging or any other special preparation. Class rules for a one-design fleet vary from fleet to fleet, and some events are modified for local rules too.
These races are entirely based on crew skill and preparation, with minor help from the boat preparation so that everyone gets a fair shot. Everyone starts at the same time, and the winner is the first to go across the finish line.
The Corsair 760 is 24 feet in length and is fast. It’s an excellent boat for one-design racing events. If you want to be on the same playing field as other crews, then one-design fleets can be ideal for your sailing goals.

The need for speed
There is a unique feeling when you see another sailboat just like yours on the race course. Head to head competition has always been a driving force behind racing, fueled by sailors with a competitive outlook.
One-design fleets using boats like the Corsair 760 allow your skill to shine, and smart preparation also has means a great deal when you’re determined to win the race.
Best for training
If you are an inexperienced sailor or you want your kids to learn how to sail then one-design boats are often the best option. Since these design classes have to be similar depending on the boat length, it is easier to learn detailed skills that translate to other boats and other crewing opportunities.
One-design boats often allow younger sailors to adapt quickly to the details without being overwhelmed or discouraged. It also helps if you start on a one-design boat and then move up to a more advanced boat with the skill set needed to sail well.
