The result is a fast, versatile dayboat designed around the sailing experience rather than life belowdecks.
Design and Construction
The Sprint 750 shares its hull design with the Dash 750, including the same large, buoyant floats, beams, and folding system. That folding arrangement is central to the boat’s practical appeal. The outer hulls fold in to a street-legal width of 8 feet, 2 inches, and the complete package can move from dock to trailer in minutes. It can then travel down the freeway at 60 mph without a permit. Folding also allows compact, affordable storage at the end of the season.
With the alloy daggerboard lowered, the boat draws nearly five and a half feet. Raise the board, and it can slip into water as shallow as one foot. A mahogany-and-ash tiller controls the dagger-type rudder, helping the Sprint remain responsive and highly maneuverable in close quarters.
Rig and Handling
The Sprint carries a rotating aluminum wing mast held by synthetic shrouds and a stainless steel forestay. Its sail plan centers on a 262-square-foot mainsail controlled through a 6:1 mainsheet system. Two Harken 16 primary winches and four clutches handle the sheets and halyards.
A retractable aluminum bowsprit extends ahead of the anchor-well hatch and can carry a screecher or spinnaker. Add either sail and the trimaran will fly downwind. boats.com recorded the Sprint sailing at or above 20 knots in the right conditions, with enough stability and power to cover 50 miles on a good afternoon.
Once the speed run is over, the retractable daggerboard and rudder make gunkholing possible.
Cockpit and Accommodations
This boat is dedicated to sailing. The cockpit occupies most of its length and is large enough for a racing crew. Grey wing nets and optional bow nets connect to the large-volume amas, completing the spacious deck.
Below, the cabin is deliberately spartan. There’s a small double bunk forward, where the crew can toss gear, a separate area for a portable MSD, and a beige carpet liner. A four-switch panel controls the interior and running lights.
The priorities are clear: accommodation space takes second place to the Sprint’s drag-racing speed potential. It’s an ideal daysailer rather than a weekender.
Trailerability and Ownership
Ownership revolves around the trailerable lifestyle. The mast can be winched up with a gin pole, making stepping and unstepping a one-person job at the ramp. Because the boat folds to a narrow road width and can be towed without a permit, storage and transport costs remain low compared with those of a fixed multihull kept on a mooring.
The grey wing nets and optional bow nets are straightforward to replace.
Service Considerations
The main service points involve parts that move or endure repeated exposure and loading. The folding system and alloy daggerboard and rudder combine moving metal with a saltwater environment. The synthetic shrouds and trampoline nets also age through UV exposure and repeated load cycles.
Because the cockpit dominates the layout, the small cabin’s carpet liner and portable-MSD area can trap dampness when wet gear is stowed below. These are the usual trimaran service items a buyer should expect to maintain.
The Verdict
The Corsair Sprint 750 is a focused daysailing trimaran: light, folding, and genuinely quick. It offers a cockpit built for a crew and just enough cabin space to shelter gear and a tired sailor. In exchange for limited liveaboard comfort, it provides road-going freedom and 20-knot potential.
Pros
- Folds to 8 ft 2 in and tows without a permit
- Shares the proven Dash 750 hull and floats
- Sails at 20+ knots and covers distance quickly
- Can enter shallow water with the board raised
Cons
- Spartan cabin with minimal amenities
- Cockpit-focused layout leaves little room belowdecks
- Folding system and alloy gear require regular care
