They are only wet when sailing over 12 knots or really bashing to weather over 9 knots, and then only very slightly. I only wear rain gear when it is actually raining. I've been on monos that are much wetter. In fact, the tramps catch a lot of the spray from windward.Thanks, I've read the F-24 is wet ride, even the F-27 is pretty wet. I was really wondering about the 31 since it seems bigger and maybe more freeboard? We have some pretty low wind days around here but the gusting can get up fast with fronts coming over the mountains. The owner sent me an email, he seems to be having issues sending pics so trying another email. I might play skip work on Friday and head out to look at it if I can get some pics and description.
BTW, Corsairs cannot fly the center hull. The floats go under (or at least deeper than you want them) first. The windward hull is out, but it barely touches the water at rest, so that does not count.
Folding the floats takes about 2-3 minutes and you typically do it while motoring into the marina. This is true of all Corsairs. They were the first brand to offer this. My last marina had a skinny slip and it was OK. I keep it spread now, but only because I found a 24' wide slip for $125/mo. What the heck.
The Telstar is a nice boat. More room, easier ride, slower.
