Re: Corsa 16?

Thanks for your replies, only just checked back. The ALPA flying junior is the closest boat you have suggested. The construction features are very similar to mine. The centreboard fits into the deck level, not in a traditional box. The mast is mounted on the sole. There is the little v gutter on the...

Re: Corsa 16?

I have tested the hiking straps which, although moving the cockpit sole, they seem secure, so I have removed the centreboard to use as a pattern for a new one. Have checked for manufacturers names, nothing written on it or any parts anywhere.

The closest I could find was a Typhoon dinghy, Proctor design i think, but not as angular looking. There is no insignia on the sails, and they look...

Corsa 16?

Hi all, I'm new to your forum, and as of yet not had a proper look around. I joined in hope that someone can help to identify a dinghy that I recently acquired, and tell me more about it. I hope to put some pictures on to help, but briefly, I believe it to be a 'Corsa 16'. It is GRP, foam backed?,16...
