CORSAIR BIOGRAPHY

Corsair is a twenty-eight foot beamy sloop designed by Slabby Larsen and built at the famous JENSEN boatyard in Denmark in 1960.  She was shipped over in a container to the US and landed in Oakland where she embarked on her life in the San Francisco Bay. Completely retrofitted in the 80's, she came to her recent owners hands as a yellow painted boat in 2012. Then began her transformation into a bright hull and many other upgrades. Extensive work by shipwright Bruce Tipton of Port Townsend, 2016. Eventually she sold to sadly to someone who left her to die in the yard and valiantly, she held on until her current owner rescued her again! Again, she’s well maintained! Blessings to her dear new owner who with PORT TOWNSEND SHIPRIGHTS CO-OP has brought her back to her original white hull shipped in a container to the west coast.

As her Boatright said; "She's a big little boat." 

Congratulations to her new owners!
