couple of years ago. I have F27 hull #14 in Guam and I can attest to the
fact that these boats are amazingly well built. This is my 6th boat and
I have never had a boat with fewer problems. My boat is in salt water
and open to tropical sun all day every day. I have replaced lots of
little parts but the main items of hull, ama, beam, and spar integrity
have not been a problem.
In reality, the trailer (for the few times a year that I use it) is more
difficult to maintain.

Subject: Corsair longevity question
(if all goes well) Our family, is about to become the proud owners of
a corsair 24 mkI. One of the reasons we are buying it is that these
boats (corsairs in general) are supposed to be of high quality.
surely the resail value reflects that (we hope). But just how long,
should we realistically expect this boat to last? yes sails blow out
and rigging wears out, as does winches and moving parts, nets
deteriorate and we expect all that. but how many more years can we
expect out of an already 12 year old hull,amas, and beams? 10? 20?
what about that aluminum mast? We do plan on taking care of it best
we can! will this boat outlast the loan?
