Carl Alberg designed big-boat appearance and handling
qualities into the Corinthian and came up with another winner. Now a recognized
National Class, she is aesthically pleasing with her graceful sheer lines...and
provides fast, stable keel-boat performance to match. The young couple looking
for THE family boat will find ideal for daysailing or overnighting...with class
racing potential thrown in. Quality control which features tank testing, assures
quality construction.
Over 400 owners will attest to these features: reasonable price; high
performance under sail; ease of handling; safety; seaworthiness; great rough
weather boat; plus proven reliability of designer and builder.
Comfort and convenience! Corinthian offers many "peace of mind"
conveniences: positive floatation; large deep, dry cockpit; outboard motorwell
in cockpit (optional) to eliminate backstrain and inconvenience in placing the
motor, sliding hatch and cabin doors (optional) to provide "stand-up cabin
space" and lock-up storage for sails and gear; good headroom in cabin to
provide "playhouse" accommodations for children aboard; tabernacle
mast-step to simplify rigging; plus ability to be trailered if desired. Check
