Corsair (dinghy)
The Corsair is a class of sixteen foot three handed sailing dinghy. The boat was designed by Australian designer Alan Payne who is famous for designing Sir Frank Packer's America's Cup challenge yachts ''Gretel'' and ''Gretel II''.
== The Boat ==
The boat is built in fiberglass and is a rather heavy boat with minimum race weight being 136 kg and many boats frequently exceeding that. The sail area for the weight is small leading to the boat acting similarly to a small keelboat in feel. The overhanded crew and no leaning-out devices add to this effect. This also makes the boat ideal for sail training as its strength and stability allow inexperienced sailors to jump in with more knowledgeable instructors; the boat is capable of taking up to 6 people and sometimes more in training situations. The class is also preferred by elder yachties as less physical strength or balance is required to race these boats with a "mind over matter" approach to sailing; there are still regular competitors with ages past 70.
