Used Westerly Corsair Sailboats for Sale

The Westerly Corsair stands as a pivotal design in the history of British yacht building, representing the transition of Westerly Marine from the rugged, somewhat utilitarian designs of the 1970s to the more sophisticated, performance-oriented cruising yachts of the 1980s. Designed by the late Ed Dubois and introduced in 1983, the Corsair was a 36-foot center-cockpit cruiser that successfully balanced the volume required for extended live-aboard voyaging with a hull form capable of maintaining respectable speeds across a variety of wind angles. Unlike its predecessors, which often favored extreme durability over hydrodynamic finesse, the Corsair benefited from Dubois’s pedigree in racing design, resulting in a hull that is remarkably well-balanced and "slippery" for its displacement.
