1999 Corsair F-24 MkII

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much usable space Corsair squeezed into 24 feet. The folding amas give you a wide, confidence-inspiring platform under sail, then tuck in neatly when it’s time to trailer or slip into a narrow berth. The cockpit is generous for a boat this size, with plenty of room to move during tacks and lounge at anchor. Inside, the small cabin offers dry storage, a simple place to overnight, and shelter from a passing squall. Light weight and responsive steering make it easy to single-hand, yet there’s enough performance to keep experienced multihull sailors grinning when the breeze comes on.

This F-24 MkII shines in warm, shallow coastal waters and nearby bays where wind can be lively and channels can get skinny. The trimaran’s minimal draft opens up sandbars, coves, and anchorages that deeper-keel monohulls simply can’t reach. When afternoon sea breezes pipe up, the boat accelerates quickly yet stays level and predictable, ideal for comfortable high-speed daysailing. Its trailerable design lets you haul out ahead of storms, explore different launch ramps, and avoid long delivery sails. For local sailors who want serious multihull performance without committing to a big marina slip, this model hits a very practical sweet spot.
