Now because Corsair trimarans are so versatile, they’re easy to fold, easy to trailer, fast and safe with a wide platform you might consider sailing one in Glacier Bay or sail from San Francisco Bay to Alaska and back with pets on board! Right?

We’d suggest sailing a Corsair 37 for longer voyages. The Corsair 37 offers all the comforts of a cruising monohull and the flat sailing of a big catamaran. It also has the speed, safety and unsinkability of a Corsair Trimaran. The Corsair 37 has an intelligently designed deck layout with halyards, topping lift, reffing and outhaul controlled at the mast. All other control lines aft to the cockpit for ease of sail handling and control.

The interior of this new and larger corsair brings more of the amenities you’ve come to expect from larger boats:  a functional yet spacious galley, ample cabinet and storage space, comfortable curved settee with seating for six, enclosed head with molded-in-vanity with sink and shower attachment.

Forward, a spacious V-berth easily sleeps two adults in unmatched comfort. Additional sleeping accommodations for two in spacious aft-cabin and the dining area converts into an additional bunk in the main cabin.

Here we have a few "BEST OF" Corsair Trimaran and Seawind Catamaran sailing videos for you to enjoy, as you dream and plan for your next adventure...maybe it's lake sailing or some coastal hops until your big BVI trip!

The Corsair Trimarans and Seawind Catamarans are built to last, and are capable of sailing everywhere in all sorts of conditions! Enjoy and thank you for sharing your adventures! 

We started out with 3 reefs due to the fact that we were sailing in a busy shipping lane and often had to move over and alter course for the large ships (Ships do not give way to sail) , sea state was 2 to 3 m seas, 32 knots max gusts abating to 20 knots as we neared Singapore and calmer seas once away from the Straits Shipping Channel and NE Monsoon Winds.

For some it was quite gnarly out there for the first few days then turned to clear blue skies and a bit WINDY with big beautiful waves, everyone feelin’ alive! One thing for sure, whether you’re bluewater cruising, or ocean racing, it truly changes you.

Extremely Fast Trimaran - Mighty Merloe - San Diego to Ensenada Race

This is a video about the 2016 San Diego to Ensenada race. I am sculpting the craft of onboard reporting for the 2017 VOR. As tryouts and more cuts are to come I am trying to learn a good formula equipment wise as well as story telling.


Sailing from South America to Florida

This turned out to be an epic adventure...maybe more than any of us thought it would be. My uncle purchased a '91 F27 trimaran from a guy that had it moored in Santa Marta, Colombia. I agreed to help him and my cousin (both experienced sailors) sail it back to Florida. We encountered 25+ knot winds and 6-7 meter waves for 2 days, virtually zero wind for 3 days, imposing freight traffic on night watch, numerous mechanical and equipment failures, sea-sickness, and food poisoning....but also a lot of bonding, beautiful scenery, laughs, and once-in-a-lifetime moments.
