Introductuion

Introduced to the range to replace the aging 36' Conway family, this Ed Dubois design was an instant hit. Minor interior design problems were had with the first few models because only one heads were installed and difficulties in getting the aft cabin layout "right". They were also available in a ketch rig but few of these were made.

In 1986 the Corsair II was launched with a proper navigators seat and the introduction of the famous Westerly tiled worksurface in the Galley.

Sister yacht is the Oceanranger
