Used Corsair 31/F-31 Sailboats for Sale

The Corsair 31, originally launched as the F-31, represents a watershed moment in the evolution of performance multihulls. Designed by the visionary Ian Farrier and introduced in the early 1990s, this vessel was the direct successor to the trailblazing F-27. It was engineered to provide a significant increase in volume and speed while maintaining the revolutionary "Farrier Folding System," which allows the 22-foot, 5-inch sailing beam to retract to a street-legal 8 feet, 2 inches. This capability effectively bridged the gap between a high-performance racing machine and a trailerable weekend cruiser. Throughout its production run, which transitioned from Farrier’s direct oversight to Corsair Marine’s independent development after their professional split in 2000, the hull remained a benchmark for structural integrity and versatility. The design utilized vacuum-bagged foam-core construction with extensive use of carbon fiber in high-stress areas (particularly in the 'R' and 'RS' versions), ensuring a lightweight platform that remains competitive in offshore regattas decades after its debut.
