<p><span style="font-size: 120%;"><strong>Last week we were able to show you your first look at the exciting new Sprint MKII from Corsair. Today we at Helms Yachts have some great news to share with you straight from Corsair Marine:</strong></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: 110%;">&ldquo;I love the huge, open cockpit on the Sprint MK I. But can I have the DASH&rsquo;s floats with higher buoyancy??&rdquo;</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: 110%;">Yes you can!</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;">Welcome to the&nbsp;<em><strong>NEW&nbsp;</strong></em>Corsair Sprint 750 MK II. The first thing you will notice is the deck which has been totally redesigned, Its styling is sleek, fresh and modern. Next, you will notice that, in addition to the DASH&rsquo;s bigger floats which will make the MK II skip across the water, it also has the same beams, hull and rig.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;">Then, you will notice the day sailor come out in you: &ldquo;I bet my Sprint 750 MK II could beat the DASH 750&hellip;&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;">But as with all of Corsair Marine&rsquo;s trimarans, the Sprint 750 MK II also delivers on the other &ldquo;Corsair Critical Criteria&rdquo;: safety through structural integrity; and ease of trailerabilty brought about by the simplicity of the floats&rsquo; folding mechanism and the raising/lowering of the mast. By being so trailerable, so many more sailing opportunities open up for day sailing with the family or racing &ndash; all at a very affordable price.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;">The base boat includes the following features:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;">&bull;	Small cabin with a huge cockpit. One double bunk with head area that has been designed to accommodate a porta-potty</span></p>

<p style="font-size: 120%;">Gary (pictured above on the right) came in first in the Singlehanded Multihull Division in this past weekend's Corinthian Race. In talking to him about race yesterday, he told me that he feels that he is pleased with how he really has the boat fine tuned and dialed in for singlehanding as of late. Typically the Sprint 750 is set up for a crew of 2 to 3, but Gary has rigged the boat so that he can control most of the lines in a more forward cockpit position. This allows him to tack, change sails, or put in a reef much easier while singlehanding the Sprint. It also allows for him to keep more of his weight in towards the center of the boat. With two recent singlehanded wins under his belt this year, Gary says that he is becoming quite attached to his Sprint. He sure has this boat humming.&nbsp;</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.helmsyacht.com/news/rss-comments-entry-11066549.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
