2021 Corsair Cruze 970

The Cruze 970 is known as the “swiss army knife” of trimarans – equally adept at cruising, racing, and passagemaking. The Cruze 970 offers a simple and effective sail layout and folding mechanism that offers unparalleled performance, while achieving remarkable versatility, as she is road legal in most areas and seaworthy and safe offshore!

The Cruze 970 is an evolution of the earlier Corsair 31, but with greater comfort and amenities similar to that found on the larger Corsair 37. The 970 is also slightly longer than the Corsair 31 and the deck has been raised creating approximately 15 percent additional inside space.  Most importantly, there is full standing headroom in the saloon area.

The saloon area is finished with a clean, white GRP liner. The galley is larger, with additional drawers and ample storage. The forward and aft bunks are now longer and wider, providing more generous accommodation for crew.  The 970 also caters to privacy with a fully enclosed head.

The more functional cockpit has been extended and an aft deck mainsheet track facilitates free movement within the cockpit. The raised, side seating increases both comfort and visibility (a great design feature taken from the highly successful Corsair 37).

For sailing performance, the high volume floats have been designed with additional buoyancy, giving the Cruze 970 greater stability and comfort for all her passengers.

As always, Corsair’s trusted folding system, proven in over 2,000 Corsairs ensures that road trailering remains easy. The retractable dagger board and rudder enable the boat to be floated in just inches of water or pushed up onto the beach when enjoying cruising adventures with family and friends.
