CR11
Description
The CR 11 (also stylized as Corsair 11 or [CR11]) is a small, modern plywood/epoxy daysailer / performance dinghy designed by Bateau.com (a US-based boat plans provider specializing in DIY and home-built boats). It's marketed as a sturdy, performant, and forgiving small sailboat, ideal as a first boat for one or two people (solo or tandem sailing). The design emphasizes simplicity, lightweight construction, good handling in various conditions (including some chop or bad weather), and versatility — it can be rigged with a standard sloop or sprit sail plan. It's fully decked for buoyancy and safety, with options for a mainsail, jib, and spinnaker to introduce technical sailing skills. It's not a mass-production boat but a plans-built design, popular among home builders, backyard enthusiasts, or those wanting an affordable, custom small sailer.
