Corsair Marine

Corsair Marine International is a leading manufacturer of high-performance, trailerable trimarans, renowned for its innovative folding hull technology that enables easy trailering and marina berthing without sacrificing speed or stability. Founded in 1984, the company specializes in lightweight composite sailboats designed for racing, day sailing, and coastal cruising, with a focus on multihull efficiency, minimal heeling (typically 10–15°), and unsinkable buoyancy. Over 2,500 trimarans have been produced, featuring the patented Farrier Folding System (FFS) for beam reduction from 18–22 ft to 8–8.5 ft. Current models range from 20–37 ft, blending performance (planning hulls, carbon options) with comfort (cabins sleeping 4–6), appealing to competitive sailors and families alike. In 2006, to leverage lower labor costs, production moved to a modern 8,500 m² facility in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where all builds now occur using vacuum-infused vinylester or epoxy resins. In 2010, Seawind Catamarans (an Australian firm) acquired Corsair, integrating it into their multihull portfolio while preserving the brand's focus on trimarans. Recent years emphasize sustainability and tech upgrades, with collaborations like Perus Yacht Design for refreshed hulls. As of 2025, Corsair remains innovative, with over 40 years of dominance in trailerable trimarans.
