Description

A True Turnkey Blue Water Cruising Vessel
The Corbin 39 Aft Cockpit Cutter is known for being a sea kindly cruiser designed to circumnavigate the planet safely and comfortably. The interior design is an excellent set up for live aboard, weekend or blue water cruisers. "Cormorant" has been impeccably maintained by her owners, is in exceptional condition, and ready to start her next journey.
This 1983 version is fitted with a bowsprit and was built with the mast set forward enhancing sailing performance over previous models by reducing weather helm. The bowsprit accommodates an anchor roller, and combined with the electric windlass, makes anchoring nearly effortless. 
Arguably a cutter rig with a reefed main is the most seaworthy rig combination and you can feel safe, sound, and dry sailing to any destination. Fitted with solar, wind generator, watermaker, and all appropriate navigation, communication, and safety equipment you will get there safely. The 1997 Yanmar 50 HP 4JH2E engine is icing on the already very sweet cake!
