Designed by François PERUS and built by Corsair Marine (AUS) starting in 2018, the Corsair 760 is a high-performance fractional sloop with a rotating spar. With a displacement of 2094.0 lb and a SA/D ratio of 40.18, it is engineered for speed and agility, though the exact total hulls built remains unconfirmed.

Best for:

This boat suits performance-oriented coastal cruisers and racers who prioritize acceleration and handling over heavy offshore comfort. Its light displacement and fractional rig make it ideal for sailors seeking a responsive, easy-to-handle package for day sailing and short passages.

Bluewater capability:

With a low capsize ratio of 5.61 and a maximum draft of 5.25 ft, the boat is primarily designed for coastal use rather than extended bluewater cruising. Its light displacement of 2094.0 lb suggests it is best suited for protected waters where rapid righting and speed are valued over heavy-weather stability.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include other modern, lightweight fractional sloops from the same era, such as the Beneteau First 25 or J/24, which share similar performance-focused hull forms and rigging configurations. These vessels appeal to the same demographic seeking high sail area-to-displacement ratios for competitive sailing.
