Is there a section that discusses Trimarans?
I appear to have acquired a small share in one.

Is there a section that discusses folding trailerable 27'0" Trimarans of the Corsair make? ?

Exccellent! That should be fun to sail.

Re a section of this forum that discusses Corsairs, I think you have just created it above
Go for it!
Can you post some photos of your new vessel please?
The multihulls section of the Boat Design Forum is very popular - if you post over there as well, I am sure that you will get a good response.

Congratulations. I bottled buying a trimaran, and bought something more “sensible” instead.
Taking my wife to view a dragonfly 28 was, however a canny plan, as she declared it “too small, too sporty and too expensive”.
Anything thereafter was roomy, sensible and good value in her eyes

Congratulations - you've bought the best boat in the world (other than the F28 I had !)
You'll have enormous amounts of fun

I had a Telstar. A bad buy, it was badly build and did not sail very well. I sold it after a year

Disagree, sailed well enough to beat any similar length Monohull. Good Committee boat for Dinghy racing.
I had one for 15 years. Minus points- centreboard broke but replaced easily. side floats always filled with water through poor hatch seals.
But .... Cheap and sailed 25K+ miles, and I managed to live onboard [ with occasional partner] for 18months, sailing around UK, Brittany and down to the med and back.
And I then sold it for 3k more than I paid for it.
Now replaced with larger Catamaran for extra comfort for SWMBO.

.... and why do you think it was cheap?

3k in 1989 and fulfilled my sailing needs at that time, and lots of fun, sailing and enjoyment.

I have warm feelings towards trimarans and their owners, from a sample of one. We had made loose friends with a Dutchman in a neighbouring Dragonfly and in a following year my wife fell and broke her wrist badly (Smiths #). Our Dutch friend drove us half an hour to hospital and was happy to wait a couple of hours while she was treated. I don’t think that my bottle of wine was really adequate recompense.

There is a Yahoo group that is excelent (mostly US, but international with many UK and European members). That is the place for Farrier designs. It was set up by Ian, who passed a few years ago.Is there a section that discusses Trimarans?

Yes very sad.
Great guy (kind, happy to give personal email advice) and fantastic innovative yacht designer - his folding system was rock solid, and great rotating mast/rolling boom etc
