Corsair 880 Sport

The current owners have enjoyed sailing this boat with their family almost every weekend on the Chesapeake Bay in the warmer months. They report that the boat sails beautifully—is fast even in light air and is very capable and manageable even in heavy conditions with two reefs in the main. The wave-piercing bows make her slice through chop smoothly and efficiently.

They love the range and performance this boat gives them and are only selling because their family is growing and they need bit more space. But are committed to the trimaran configuration which is hard to beat for exhilaration, speed, the convenience of being able to dock in a standard width slip, not to mention trailerability and the ability to step and unstep the mast without needing the assistance of a crane.

The mission of the Corsair 880 is to provide sailors of all skill levels the opportunity to trailer a boat to distant cruising grounds, be self sufficient, be comfortable, and sail fast  Presented here is the 880 Sport version to deliver all of that as well as race wins.

So if your priority is to have the same adventures as cruisers, while also winning races then the new Corsair 880 Sport will float your boat. This is performance for skilled sailors. Featuring a tall 13.5 meter carbon fibre mast, high performance aramid laminate sails and a light interior fit-out this boat is the tuned up version of the state of the art in performance trimaran design. A carbon bowsprit creates an increased forward triangle to get the maximum downwind performance.

The 880 Sport is much more than a drop dead gorgeous and feature-packed high speed Corsair trimaran. Careful attention has been paid to interior details to aid creature comfort. The main cabin has copious standing head room for starters. The galley area, like the main salon, has full standing headroom making cooking and moving about while underway a breeze. And the spacious aft sleeping cabin does not intrude even slightly on the cockpit layout as it is totally contained under the cockpit floor. This enables the boat to sleep 5 comfortably.

Sailing fast is vastly more fun than sailing slowly. Most fast sailboats have spartan interiors. But why not sail fast and have comfort too with the Corsair 880 Sport?
