Former F-27 and F-24 owner. This is the most dialed in Corsair I've ever seen. Great job. Your attention to detail is amazing.

We used to have an F-31R (I think we had it from like 1999 or something into the early 2000's?). We had a taller rig on it, non-integral bowsprit, huge code zero, and modified the cockpit to add glassed in extensions on the sides of the aft deck to enable a very powerful conventional mainsheet with an extended traveler that could go a bit outboard of where the factory hull stopped. That boat screamed, but it looks like yours sits much better on those C-foils-- the lack of bouyancy in the floats was always an issue for us. Good job adapting the boat to the high-performance rig!

The electrical upgrade was my favorite part. Beautifully done.

Nice! I am hoping to upgrade from my F-22 to an F-33. I'm currently using a Torqueedo 1-kW outboard (1003), which is plenty on the small boat. I thought I'd need a lot more for a 33, but... I don't have to do much motoring (just emergencies and sometimes docking if the wind is awkward), and I notice that you're going very well at 1 kW on Condor. Under what conditions do you need to use more power than this? I wonder if e.g. a high-thrust propeller would save me the trouble of a fancy new motor setup...

Thanks for posting. I assume the battery is extra cost?

The jib rail solution is ingenious!

very nice boat. contratulations !!! question, how many feets, of long ??? thank you !!

Cool video thanks to you! I have a F27 and I have a 8hp in the well I wonder if I could turn this motor in that well? It would make my boat much more movable in tight spots? Wow this is very cool and I love your boat!

Nicely dialed in

Thanks for the informative video. I've been thinking about a setup like this for a few years now. If one is a sailor and coastal cruiser, and uses the engine only to get in and out of marinas, electric propulsion just makes a lot more sense, especially for a lightweight trimaran. Plus the weight distribution is better. I'm just not liking them Toqeedos - seems flimsy for all that price. But I think having a motor with regen would also make a lot of sense. Maybe not at 16kn, but at 6-12kn why not.

Do the C-foils add to ride comfort at all in this boat, in terms of roll or pitch damping? I've read that on some foilers and foil-assist boats they kind of tame the jerky motion a lot of multihulls have, but does that work with your setup?

Interesting video. I'm building an F22 and I love the idea of being able to regenerate while sailing with the e-propultion. Hopefully I'll be able to afford one when I get to that stage!

Lots of interesting details. Nice to see that there are guys who keep their F-boats light ;-)

Great! Got some ideas for LIGHTNESS ;-)

Wow so nice tips about all spec's of SAILING boat

Great video. Really detailed. Thanks.

Where do you keep your boat. I live in oakland and have turned down a few sweet deals because of the mooring cost

Building my own trimaran. Good tips always interesting to see other boats have things are done 👍

_Resin ROCKET!_

I'm interested in what swingarm you have for your chartplotter. I've been trying to configure something for my F27 and your solution looks better than what I've come up with so far.

What is the make and length of your trimaran? Thank you, Steve

Great video. The interior of the boat is amazing. A few technical questions: 1) Can you give a time estimate for how long it took you to get rid of the carpet? Also is there any specific technique or product you would recommend? 2) Did you paint the carbon fiber bowsprit? 3) Have you had your spars evaluated with ultrasound, or are you planning to do this at some point?

Hello Thomas, Thank for your vidéo. What profile did you use for the foils.

Thomas, thanks for the great presentation. I have a 30 foot Condor trimaran. Think F31 but beefier and slower in light winds. But the fight is on in mid range winds. On heavy wind days the F31's hulls amas aren't full enough to keep up with the fuller hulls on a Condor. Love what you have done to strip your boat for racing. Those days are gone for me. I have thought many times about the electric motors. But I sail in more remote areas. For example, sailing from Mulege Baja heading east to San Carlos it is about a 10 hour sail. The first 3+hours there is no wind and the sea was like glass. Don't know how the Torqueedo would do with doing 6-7 knots for 3 hours. Great challenges for the pocket book also.

Thanks for the video! It’s inspiring to see how you’ve built such a great looking boat from just the hull! I’ve recently been gifted an older B14 that is sailable, but missing some parts. I’ve never restored a boat before, so I’m quite nervous! My boat needs a new daggerboard (it currently has a salvaged daggerboard from a different boat that is kept from falling off the slot by some foams!), an asymmetrical spinnaker, a pole, and a wing kit. I would appreciate it very much if you could give some pointers as to where to get the parts and any other tips. I’m in Canada.

Lovely work! I always judge speed by the length of the wake sweeping away astern. I long to hear the wind and sounds of the boat.

Such a nice boat! No idea you could put C foils on these. Gotta research this! Well sorted and clean. What year is this one?

Terrific video. It's like 8 videos in one. I was getting a kick out of you hanging ten off the bow while the port ama flew, and then almost flipping! Your quick release jam cleat is a really important lesson for all sailors. They have adjustable auto release ones on the Mausadon cats, like the ORC 57. Brilliant rigging on your boat. Like your high jack (safety) lines. I have these on my monohull. I'd like to take credit, but the previous owner, a fireman, had them rigged like that. They work as handholds docked and at sea. Easier to clip into. Your Corsair and the other trimarans are amazing boats. It's easy to make straps like your 'car straps.' Buy webbing and then use any good (steel framed) sewing machine. Just match a stitch pattern. I liked the 5 to 10 straight bars on my PFD life life so that's usually what I do. (I've got a Janome sewing machine, the case is plastic but the frame is steel. The revelation for me was to sew webbing you use a 'ball' needle (I can't see or feel the difference) because when you sew webbing, the needle pushes around, not through the threads of the material.) I love bungee cords, but you usually won't see them on my 45' monohull or any other ocean sailing vessel. They lose their stretch. What should be happening is we should be using them and then just marking a date on our calendars, "Replace All Bungees." In Japan we couldn't find bungees instead we found rubber strips (like bicycle tires) and hooks. DIY. Not as pretty but a much wider range of options. (I still see online photos of the boat I sailed on across the Pacific, it's only been a couple of months, but there's my DIY rubber straps holding down the life raft container.) A sealed bag of these would probably be a great back up to have on a boat. Once you figure out ways to do the end loops/clips you're good to go.

Very very nicely done. I especially liked your jib sheeting configuration. James ex 2 F25Cs (one w/F85SR floats) and always solo.

Nice. Torqeedo could take a lot of advice from you! I would have gone for the regenerative motor since given all that wind and the speed of your boat you could recharge your batteries on the way to and back in from a race. Apparently, you need to be going a good click in order to realize good charging.

Nice setup you have there! Watch out to not live those batteries without charging for to long they have tendency to self discharge to status that you can't recover theme officially. Hope it doesn't happen to you but if it dose this is the way ua-cam.com/video/K-gNr-FdNOQ/v-deo.html

Wow, that's a serious racing setup! Beautiful job, really well done.

Compared to an combustion outboard...the electric outboard seems alot cleaner and easier to maintain. Thanks for your review.

Great idea getting rid of the ugly carpet. Makes the boat look like a current boat. It looks great.

Great recovery. A bit like watching Ayrton Senna saving a massive slide. You are right to emphasize the importance of closing the circuit when doing these speeds.

Thanks a lot for those amazing videos. I hope for more to come 👍👍

I will in the near future be interested in the purchase of the same model Corsair. Just for interest sake what sailing speed can the boat achieve?

Your boat and the work you did to it looks incredible!!

Thanks Thomas - What is 1) the max wind speed you've experienced and 2) what would be the max speed you would theoretically feel comfortable in fully reefed?

Nice work brother. What kind of knots are you usually sailing with?

Did you add the C-foils? I am renovating an F31 and am interested in that option.

were can i buy plans for a trimaran like this one...

Great video. I'm interested in adding c-foils to my F-25A. All 3 hulls are strip cedar West System. Any advice as to where to start?

What's the brand and model of the boat?

Great walk through, thanks for sharing!

I'm expecting my Torqueedo system in about two weeks time, your review is very useful.

That was brilliant, stopped me in my tracks, gotta get another tri!

I am so steeling the barber hauler layout. The track looks like the way to go.
