In 1997 Corsair began production on the Corsair 28 and Corsair 28R, followed by the Corsair 28CC, now the mid-range mainstay of Corsair. The Corsair28, like all of its predecessors and current sisters, is an easily trailerable sport boat because of its light weight and low profile on the trailer. As with other Corsair trimarans, the transition from trailering to sailing takes about 30 minutes. The mast is raised or lowered using the installed winch on the trailer as with all Corsairs. Everything about the Corsair 28 is designed to get you on the water and across the water quickly, comfortably and affordably. The Corsair 28CC, Corsair 28AC and Corsair 28R have roomy, functional interiors with all the necessary amenities for comfortable overnight cruising. There are sleeping accommodations for four, galley area with two-burner stove, stainless-steel sink, fresh water tank and pump, and a marine head with privacycurtain and a holding tank. Seat/bunk cushions are standard and are available in over 40 colors and patterns, or may be covered with customer-supplied fabrics as desired. The carbon fiber mast of the Corsair 28R has the double advantage of being more efficient and powerful on the water and of less weight for easy handling on the trailer. The rudder, which pivots up 180-degrees for trailering and the fully retractable daggerboard also enable you to pull in close to shore and anchor in knee-deep water, or even put the Corsair 28 onto a sandy beach.
