From July 17 to 19, 2026, the Corsair fleet will gather on San Francisco Bay for the 2026 Corsair National Championship. This premier event is proudly sponsored by Corsair Marine International and co-organised by Encinal Yacht Club and the Bay Area Multihull Association.

Together, these partners bring one of the most active trimaran communities in the world to one of sailing's most iconic venues.

San Francisco Bay is renowned for its steady summer breeze, strong tidal currents, and tactical racecourses across the South and Central Bay. It is a venue that rewards preparation, precision, and confident helming.

Racing format and eligibility

The three-day program will include a long-distance race and multiple buoy races sailed in classic July Bay conditions. Separate classes will be offered:

  • Corsair Class - for trimarans manufactured by Corsair Marine, including legacy Farrier-designed models manufactured by Corsair. Boats in this class will race under PHRF or one-design scoring.
  • Open Class - for multihulls not built by Corsair. Boats in this class will race under PHRF.

A global Corsair community

The Corsair National Championship represents more than competitive racing. It is a gathering of owners, sailors and enthusiasts who share a commitment to efficient design, lightweight construction and purposeful performance.

From long standing Farrier designed trimarans to the latest generation Corsair models, the fleet reflects decades of development focused on sailing efficiency and real world capability.

The current Corsair lineup

While the championship welcomes eligible Corsair and Farrier designed trimarans across the fleet, today's Corsair range continues to evolve that performance heritage.

Corsair 760
The Corsair 760 demonstrates how trailerable trimaran sailing can remain accessible without sacrificing structural integrity or speed.

Corsair 880
The Corsair 880 represents the newest generation of modern Corsair design, delivering agile handling, responsive feedback and refined systems integration.

Corsair 970
The Corsair 970 balances offshore capability with competitive pace, offering a versatile platform suited to both passage making and championship racing.

Each model reflects the same core philosophy that has defined Corsair for decades: lightweight engineering, structural stiffness and efficient sail plan geometry built for sailors who value real performance.

Registration for the 2026 Corsair National Championship is now open.
