About the CORBIN 39 CC
Available in aft cockpit and center cockpit (shown here) versions. CC version was available with ketch or staysail ketch rig. Available built of solid laminate or with Airex core. Most boats were sold unfinished so interior and other details vary widely.
The Corbin 39 CC is a robust staysail ketch designed by Robert Dufour and Marius Corbin, built by Corbin Les Bateaux (CAN) between 1979 and 1991 with a total production of 200 hulls. This data-driven synthesis reflects owner reports and listings, noting that while no widespread structural defects were detected in the analyzed corpus, the boat is characterized by its heavy displacement and traditional cruising layout.
- Best for:
- This vessel is ideally suited for experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform for extended offshore passages, particularly those who appreciate the balance and ease of handling provided by a staysail ketch rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 22800.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.7, the Corbin 39 CC demonstrates strong offshore suitability, offering the stability and motion comfort expected of a heavy-displacement fin-keel cruiser.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Tartan 38 and the Cal 40, as they share similar heavy-displacement characteristics and cruising-oriented designs, though the Corbin 39 CC distinguishes itself with its specific ketch configuration and Canadian build quality.
