Corsair 13
Description
The Corsair 13 (also known as the CR13) is a compact, high-performance daysailer and pocket cruiser designed by François G. Lecanu and offered through Bateau.com as CNC-cut plans for amateur or professional builders. Introduced in the early 2010s, it's a monohull sailboat optimized for solo or small crew (2-3 people) use, blending classic dory-inspired lines with modern racing touches. Built primarily in stitch-and-glue plywood with epoxy and fiberglass sheathing, it's lightweight, trailerable, and versatile for lakes, bays, or coastal waters—perfect for beginners learning to sail or experienced skippers seeking a responsive "fun machine."
