    Just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever raced one of those Corsair trimarans on a beachcat?

    I raced one a few years ago on my old H16, and despite my best efforts he slowly but steadily creeped past me. Granted, I was very new to sailing (I didn't even know how to read my tell-tails yet! icon_lol ), but the Corsair still beat me fair and square. Has anyone here had better luck?

    I have not raced one... but I have sailed along side. They are impressively speedy. I thought I would be able to walk away... he stayed with me a good while.

    Depends on which Corsair
    Portsmouth ratings, lower number is faster
    Hobie 18-71.4
    Hobie 16-76.0
    Nacra 5.7-72.6
    Nacra 6.0-62.6

    F24-76.1
    F242-74.3
    F25C-61.9
    F27F-69.4
    F27-70.5
    F28-67.1
    F28R-65.0
    F31-65.4
    F31R-61.9
    F750-61.9
    You should be able to keep up with the 2 F24's, but after that the others should just walk away when they wanted to.
