Corsair F-24 Boat Test
The corsair f-24 mk i cooks up a budget-friendly taste of fast..
In May 1999 Practical Sailor reviewed the then-new Corsair F-24 Mark II trimaran. Nearly 20 years later, were here to follow up with a focus on the Corsair F-24 Mark I, a boat that can represent a good value today since many newer designs have entered the market.
The late Ian Farrier (1947-2017) designed fast, trailerable trimarans for more than 40 years. A New Zealander, his first production success was the 18-foot Trailertri. His 19-foot Tramp was Boat-of-the-Year in Australia in 1981. In 1983 John Walton (of the Wal Mart family) founded Corsair to build high-performance multihulls, lured Farrier to Chula Vista, California, and the result was the very popular F-27 ( PS September 1990 ). Almost 500 have been sold since it went into production in 1985. It has since been superceded by the F-28.
In 1991, Corsair added the F-24 Sport Cruiser. This abbreviated version of the F-27, with a starting price more than 30 percent lower than the F-27, was designed to be affordable.
While she remained sharp in the performance department, her accommodations were even more spartan. We spoke with Ian Farrier several times about anchoring and cruising; it was pretty clear that his heart was in racing and he even suggested we were probably better in tune with the needs and practicalities of small multi-hull cruising than he was. Still, he designed a cabin that can handily do both, if you can accept the compromises.
The deck layout is similar to the typical 24-foot monohull, except that it is wide-18 feet-with wing trampolines on both sides. In addition to providing stability, this gives lounging space in fair weather and greatly increases safety in rough weather. Though lacking railings and lifelines-other than a pulpit and wrap-around stern rail-its hard to fall off the F-24 if jacklines and tethers are used. A single large Lewmar foredeck hatch provides ample ventilation. The cockpit will easily seat six, but three is more comfortable for vigorous sailing.
The cockpit is equipped with four Lewmar 16 winches (the jib winches are one-speed self-tailers, the reacher winches are standard two-speed), two multi-line jammers, and ten cam cleats. All essential sail controls, including halyards, are accessible from the cockpit, making for easy single-handed sailing.
The mainsail furls by winding around the boom; fast, convenient, and very gentle on the typical Mylar/carbon laminate sails. Reefing requires a quick trip to the mast to crank the boom around and attach the down haul, but that is it. The set up makes a vang impractical but few multihulls use them anyway, preferring to control the boom with the traveler.
The bow anchor locker holds two anchors and two rodes, so long as they are folding designs. Trimarans are best anchored using a bridle; the test boat uses a 20-foot Dyneema bridle that is retracted onto the wing nets when not in use.
The typical 6 horsepower outboard delivers about 5.3 knots at 1/3 throttle and about 6.5 knots wide open. The side mount provides decent performance in chop, pitching less than transom-mounted engines.
The portable fuel tank is protected from the sun and solar heating in an under-seat locker. It is wide is open for venting (but sealed from the cabin) and drains out through the open transom, safe and out of the way.
Since the emphasis was fast cruising and racing, storage and amenities are sparse. In the cabin there is storage behind the seat backs. The large rectangular top-opening lockers in the galley counter and under the seats can be fitted with hanging bags for easier access.
The head compartment has sufficient space for toilet paper and cleaning supplies. There is a large bottomless locker in the cockpit that also provides access to under cockpit areas. Lockers in the amas (outriggers) can hold light, bulky items.
There is sitting head room and ample seating for four on the starboard settee. An Origo alcohol stove and sink with rocker pump provide a minimal galley. A large cooler slides easily under the companionway. The forward V-berth is quite long, though a little pinched at the foot. The settee converts into a twin-sized bed using filler boards that slide neatly into storage slots under the companionway.
A portable head sits in a well behind a curtain, and is typically moved into the cockpit at bedtime for better privacy. Some owners rate the interior as poor, but most call it camping-out comfortable, suitable for an overnight or weekend.
Performance
Everyone wants to know how fast the little trimaran will go. To windward it points as well as most monohulls, thanks to a deep centerboard. Shell tack through less than 90 degrees if you pinch, though it’s faster if you bear off just a little. Keeping up with 40-foot cruisers is easy on any point of the sail, and you quickly chase them down on a reach.
With the wind free, expect to match true wind speed up to about 12 knots, after which you may reef or bleed power, depending on your mood. In lighter winds, pop out the reacher and you’ll get a whole new gear, easily exceeding wind speed.
In stronger winds, bear off until the true wind is on the quarter, and you’ll see 14 knots or more, although handling requires sharp attention if you haven’t reefed.
Compared to the Stiletto 27 (see PS July 2016), it is more weatherly, tacks faster, can safely handle more wind, but is slightly slower off the wind (though not as scary).
Upwind reefing begins at about 15 knots true for those who like fast sailing, but there is no reason not to reef a little earlier and enjoy more relaxed, but still spirited sailing. Maximum angle of heel is about 15 degrees.
With two reefs and the jib rolled up a little, shell take quite a lot of wind, perhaps 30 knots, without much excitement. Upwind in 20 knots is fun with the right reefs in, and that’s pretty good for a 24-foot boat. Farrier designed these conservatively, with windy conditions in mind. They are quite popular on San Francisco Bay, an area known for strong breezes.
The Mark II was touted as the new and improved version of the Mark I. By replacing the centerboard with a daggerboard, weight was reduced, and a rotating mast increased power, making the Mark II noticeably faster. The Mark I has more usable cabin space, since the centerboard case is hidden inside the settee, and the Mark I cockpit is also several feet longer, a boon to fun daysailing.
The centerboard is also a blessing in shoal water, automatically pivoting up if it smells the bottom, instead of breaking things when you find a sandbar at 15 knots. The Mark I has a kick-up rudder fitted into a cassette, keeping it under the boat, while the Mark II has a transom hung rudder. The Mark I works as a day sailor and weekender, while racers prefer the Mark II.
As with any multihull, there is always the capsize canard. Sailed poorly, any sailboat can capsize, says Farrier. My designs are not immune to this. With over 1,000 Farriers now sailing, even a low 1 percent capsize ratio would mean 10 capsizes a year. However, the capsize rate actually appears to be averaging .03 percent.
Large ocean-going monohull yachts are foundering annually, sometimes with loss of life. The basic safety difference is that the monohulls ultimate stability is resting on the bottom, while the multihulls is floating on top.
Reef appropriately and the risk is truly small. F-27s have completed successful transpacific and transatlantic crossings, and even the first circumnavigation of the North Pole under sail. Finally, the F-24 can’t sink. Built-in foam flotation, light construction, and multiple crash tanks in the amas and foam-filled akas (cross beams) make this impossible.
The F-24s main hull is fine, with a V-entry forward, U-sections mid-ships, and a relatively flat transom to damp pitching and provide lift for planing. Going to weather, most of the weight is on the amas, with fine V-sections that cut nicely through waves. Powering through short chop is not a strong suit among multihulls, but she has demonstrated considerable ability in choppy waters such as San Francisco Bay and the Chesapeake.
The heart of Farriers designs is the patented Farrier Folding System. Refined over the years, the mechanism allows the akas to fold-up, which reduces the F-24s beam from 17 feet 11 inches to 8 feet 2 inches.
We kept our F-24 in a small boat marina for a time, folding after every sail; we did this while motoring in the channel, requiring only a few minutes of light effort by one person.
While the claim of trailering to sailing in 20 minutes may be true for seasoned crews that race every weekend, allow two hours for the transition if you do this only occasionally.
Although no single step is physically difficult for a single person, there are many steps and a second pair of hands makes for safer work. The engineering has proved very reliable, and now that the patents have expired, copies abound.
Construction
Performance multihulls built to their designed displacements are hardly ever built on production lines. Corsair has been the exception to that rule. Light weight is an essential if you want a cat or trimaran to sail up to its speed potential, but you’re not likely to achieve it with normal materials and common construction techniques.
Turning out an F-24 that weighs 1,800 pounds (1,650 pounds for the Mark II) is no simple matter. It involves almost 50 separate molded parts, considerably more than same-length monohulls.
Carbon fiber and Kevlar reinforcement, vacuum-bagging, double-biased fabrics, acrylic-modified epoxy resin, and NPG gelcoat are all elements you’d expect to see in a custom shop. They all go into the F-24.
Glass/resin control, published laminate schedules, a computer-generated production protocol, universally bonded top hat joints between hull and deck, barrier coats of vinyl ester resin, isopthalic resin throughout the rest of the laminate, and bulkheads tabbed in seven places to the hull makes for a light but sturdy boat.
The akas appear to be held in place by the anchor bolts inserted when unfolding, but the sailing forces are actually carried by strong pivot arms connecting the akas to anchor points near the waterline, anchored deep within the hull, and by compression blocks where the arms meet the hull at deck level.
After 20 years we’ve had a few minor issues related to failed bedding and damage to the balsa core, but nothing affecting the main structural elements.
Conclusions
Whether you’re downsizing from a cruising cat, or upsizing from the family Hobie, the F-24 offers the sports car of youthful dreams, on a budget.
Is it worth paying three times as much as you would for a 24-foot mono-hull with more room? Not if you’re looking for cabin space and need an enclosed head. On the other hand, if fun sailing is the goal, the dollar-to-grin ratio is very high. Market demand is dependable and you will get your money back. It’s not the best beginners boat.
You can’t just sheet-and-forget, and getting the best from her requires experience and attention. But if you have a beach cat or fast dinghy background, it’s a great way to gain weekender capability without losing any of the fun. If you need a little more comfort or more speed, look at the Corsair F-27. And if money is no object there’s a world of Farrier designs to choose from.
Cruising in an F-24 is a tiny step above camping, but for the bare-bones cruiser who wants to cover some ground quickly, it fits the bill quite handily.
1. An alcohol stove and a small sink serve the micro-galley. 2. The V-berth is tight, but the convertible settee in the main cabin makes a twin-sized bed. 3. The porta-potty sits under the V-berth. It is often moved to the cockpit at night while sleeping. 4. A folding table seats one for dining.
- Fast, weatherly, and quick to tack.
- Stable. Only 15 degrees heel.
- Reefing starts at about 18 knots apparent.
- Easy to fold from 18-foot beam to
- 8-foot in about two minutes.
- Roomy cockpit. Tramps are fun in the summer.
- Eighteen-foot beam makes it hard to fall off.
- Well-built with stout rigging.
- Cramped cabin. No standing headroom and few amenities.
- Limited storage space.
- Portable head and no head compartment.
- Quick motion.
- Slow under power.

The Corsair 24 Mk2's three bows crunched on the sand. I hauled myself onto the port trampoline and off we went. "When you have 15 knots of wind, you sail at 12! My record is 17 knots, with full main and gennaker. There was 21 knots of wind. The boat is so easy, we reach these speeds without noticing." Alain Lemardeley, owner of Entre deux mers for two years, made my mouth water even before we hoisted the sails. A formality aboard a little trimaran measuring barely more than 7 metres: the fully-battened mainsail was hoisted by hand, the jib unrolled and the speedo cheerfully exceeded 10 knots. As simple as that. And all this whilst remaining level and almost dry! Flashback: designed by an incredibly avant-garde architect/sailor, the Corsairs remain today a reference in small, fast trimarans. The Australian, Ian Farrier, developed the folding arm system on his multihulls in...1975, with the Trailertri and the Tramp. Well before the problems with marina berths! The prototype of the first Corsair, the F-27, was launched in 1985. The smallest, the F-24, was unveiled in 1991. Three years later, a Mk2 version appeared, whose rotating mast advantageously replaced the classic rig of its ...

Proven Design
At last — a one-design cruiser-racer that the whole family can sail and enjoy! The Corsair 24 Mk.II is a compact, easily trailerable, folding trimaran that is ideal for cruising and level racing. A new design by Ian Farrier, the Corsair 24 is a tough, light-weight sport boat that is exceptionally fast, responsive and safe to sail. Though based on simple and original concepts, well-proven over many years, the Corsair 24 incorporates innovative features and refinements that make it especially exciting and fun, as well as affordable to own. With its roomy cabin and optional cruising amenities, the Corsair 24 also becomes a highly mobile pocket cruiser. But it’s the amazing performance–with 20-knots plus speed capability–that sets the Corsair 24 apart. In early racing debuts it has won the open classes in the U.S. Corsair Nationals of 1995 and the 1994 Australian Trailerable Multihull Championships. It has also shown fleet beating performance in its first National Offshore One Design (N.O.O.D.) regatta in San Francisco Bay — overtaking and passing in one heat all other monohull and multihull racers in the regatta. Yet, so well designed is the Mk.II that even in the toughest conditions you only need a crew of three (or less) to obtain top performance.
Cruising Accommodations
The Corsair 24 has a surprisingly large and roomy cabin. There’s even standing headroom under the large pop-top companionway hatch, which can be rigged with a weather enclosure fitted with either windows or screens. Spacious decks and nets give everyone plenty of room to spread out. The Corsair 24 converts easily into an overnight family cruiser. An optional galley module that includes a sink, stove, water tank and pump provides basic amenities, and there’s also space for a portable head. When daysailing or racing, these units can be removed easily to save space and reduce weight. The two single settees in the cabin and a large V-berth forward sleep four in comfort. This was recently demonstrated by a mom and dad and their two children who happily cruised the coast of Maine for a week in a new Corsair 24.
Efficient Rig
The Corsair 24’s rakish and distinctive rig features a rotating aluminum mast, the first to come standard on a Corsair trimaran. This spar rotates as mainsail trim is adjusted to differing points of sail so that the apparent wind sees only it’s most narrow profile. This greatly reduces mast-generated turbulence around the mainsail luff and significantly improves sailing efficiency, especially while reaching. The degree of rotation can be controlled with simple tackle. As in all other Corsairs, the mast is easily raised or lowered by one person using the trailer winch or one of the jib sheet winches. The boom includes internal 6:1 outhaul and 4:1 cunningham tackle with control lines led to the cockpit for effortless mainsail adjustments. There is an optional bowsprit for flying an asymmetrical spinnaker and screacher.
A new and flexible sail plan gives the Corsair24 excellent all-round performance in a wide range of conditions and is easy to handle. It sports a fully battened square-top mainsail, which places more sail area aloft to take best advantage of light air. Yet, in heavy wind gusts the square head twists in a way that automatically de-powers the sail–an important safety feature! The working jib may be either hank-on or roller furled. With the optional bowsprit installed, the Corsair 24 can fly an easy-to-handle asymmetrical spinnaker or screacher for exhilarating performance at a yet higher plane. The screacher is a light weight, close-winded sail used in racing to obtain extra power on reaches and when going to windward in lighter air. Equipped with a roller furler, the screacher is also the perfect lazy man’s spinnaker–easy to roll up or roll out–and is great for cruising. This versatile sail plan gives the Corsair 24 sailor great choice of sail selection for all conditions plus a speed potential exceeding 20-knots.
Underwater Appendages
The Corsair 24 employs a single, carbon-reinforced daggerboard situated in the main hull to counter leeway when sailing to windward. This simple and trouble-free board is an efficient foil of uniform section that minimizes drag while enhancing lift, boat speed and overall performance. The daggerboard’s trunk doubles as a compression post under the mast, further contributing to structural integrity of the boat while saving both weight and cost, one of many examples of design efficiency in the Corsair 24. The daggerboard is easily raised and lowered with control lines leading to the cockpit. The transom-hung, kick-up rudder also features an efficient foil for balanced helm and superior control in all conditions. Along with the retractable daggerboard it also gives the Corsair 24 superb shallow water capability and even makes sailing off a sandy beach a breeze.
Farrier Folding System TM
With the exclusive Farrier Folding System, the Corsair 24’s floats (amas) can be folded in a minute or two for convenient docking in standard-width marina slips or take-it-anywhere trailerability. The Corsair 24 is light enough to be towed behind a medium size family car or truck. On the water, with floats extended, the Corsair 24 provides the pleasure and comfort of low-heel sailing. This system is easily handled by one person and is by far the quickest and simplest multihull folding method available. Even when folded, the Corsair 24 is stable and is readily maneuvered with a 3 to 5 horsepower outboard motor. From trailering to sailing can take less than 20 minutes, including time to raise the mast and set up the rig.
Construction Details
The Corsair 24 is built to the designer’s exacting specifications using the highest quality materials. Like all other Corsairs, the new Corsair 24 is of foam sandwich construction. The inner and outer fiberglass skins and the rigid, polyvinyl foam core are hand laminated and vacuum bagged to ensure perfect bonding as well as an ideal glass-to-resin ratio. The beams are reinforced with multiple layers of uni-directional carbon fiber for great strength and fatigue resistance. The result is an optimum combination of light weight and strength for a tough, safe, beautifully finished boat that will perform superbly, last for years and command high resale prices. Engineered with an eye towards efficient production as well as outstanding sailing characteristics, the Corsair 24 now offers the best value at the lowest price in a performance folding trimaran.
Multihulls that Make Sense
There’s never been a better time to enter the exciting world of the modern multihull. The Corsair 24 fleet is growing rapidly, with over 300 now sailing . Thanks to its efficient design and innovative engineering the Corsair 24 enables sailors to get into a fast, fun and quality-built multihull sailboat at the lowest price offered in a very long time.
