The Corsair 27, almost universally recognized by its design designation as the Farrier F-27, is widely considered the most influential production multihull in sailing history. Launched in 1985 by Corsair Marine in partnership with designer Ian Farrier, the model effectively bridged the gap between niche experimental multihulls and the mainstream market. Its primary innovation was the patented Farrier Folding System™, which allowed the vessel’s beam to shrink from nearly 20 feet to just 8 feet 5 inches in minutes, enabling it to be trailered behind a standard SUV and stored in a conventional marina slip. This versatility, combined with high-tech composite construction, earned the boat an induction into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame, a rare honor for a vessel of its size.
