CORINTHIAN 19 (ALBERG)

About the CORINTHIAN 19 (ALBERG)

Originally part of Sailstar line, before the company was purchased by Bristol Yachts. See BRISTOL 19 (SAILSTAR CORINTHIAN 19). Sailstar also offered a keel/centerboard model in this same size range called the CONQUEST, designed by Paul Coble, of which, very few were built.

Designed by Carl Alberg and built by Sailstar Boats/Bristol Yachts (USA) starting in 1966, the Corinthian 19 is a compact fractional sloop with a displacement of 2724.0 lb and a max draft of 2.75 ft. While the exact hulls built count is unknown, this model represents a classic era of American trailerable cruising yachts.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and trailerable boat owners who prioritize a shallow draft of 2.75 ft for access to protected waters and a manageable LOA of 19.5 ft for transport.

Bluewater capability:

With a low capsize ratio of 1.86 and a full/long keel, the Corinthian 19 offers inherent stability for coastal passages, though its light displacement of 2724.0 lb and trailerable nature limit it to protected offshore use rather than heavy bluewater voyaging.

Comparables:

Comparable to other 1960s trailerable cruisers like the Pearson 19 or O'Day 20, the Corinthian 19 shares a similar LOA of 19.5 ft and fractional sloop rig, though it distinguishes itself with a higher D/L ratio of 398.89 indicating greater stability.
