Review of Corinthian 20
Basic specs..
The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.
Unknown keel type
The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.82 - 0.92 meter (2.69 - 2.99 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 5.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Corinthian 20 is about 58 kg/cm, alternatively 328 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 58 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 328 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

  Published on April 25th, 2015 | by Editor Corinthian Sailing: Critical to the growth of the sportPublished on April 25th, 2015 by Editor --> by Heather Gregg-Earl “No victory is sweeter than one you win with friends” In the world of one design sailing today, those words have special meaning. With so many professional teams racing across so many one-design classes in the US these days, the Corinthian team (all Group 1’s per ISAF classification, no professionally paid sailors on board) is becoming a rare bird. Many one-design fleets are finding themselves now with about 3/4 of the fleet categorized as professional teams with a small contingent, a fourth, being sailing by Corinthian teams. However, it’s critical to the growth of the sport that we encourage Corinthian teams within our classes. Maintaining Corinthian type competition brings more sailors into the class, period, as it is a great outlet for those that place a high value on the experience yet still want to compete at a high level to do so. I’ve been asked several times why I sail Corinthian, and the answer is simple: sailing and winning with friends is priceless. Twenty years from now I will be remembering the fun and laughs we had on and off the water, not whether we placed top ten in any given regatta. Life is about experiences with friends, not just podium finishes (well, maybe the big ones!)  But it is wrong to think that sailing as a Corinthian team doesn’t mean you can’t do well – you just have to work harder! The Corinthian teams that have worked hard are delivering the results across many classes. Corinthian team of Ben Kinney, Senet Bischoff and Clay Bischoff recently had an impressive win in the Etchells class, a fully pro’d up class, winning a Jaguar Regatta beating 48 boats fleet. Last summer, their team placed 4th in a fleet of 95 in the Etchells Worlds. In the J/70 class, we have a number of fiercely competitive Corinthian teams that are giving the pro’s a run for their money too! We think we have the best of both worlds. We get a lot better competing against the Pro’s and learning from them, yet we still have a chance at the Overall and Corinthian trophies as well. The key to a strong Corinthian team is chemistry. There is no rock star aboard to bail you out. All members of the team tend to be a lot more equal in experience level relative to each other. It’s a complete team effort. How you work together on the boat, how you laugh together on land, how you support each other, and how you communicate all drive chemistry on the boat. Chemistry is one of those intangibles – often underestimated but can be very powerful in driving results. We, as Corinthians, are underdogs, and must use everything we’ve got! Editor’s note : Heather Gregg Earl, Skipper of J/70 Team MUSE, trophied at the 2013 North American Championship (1st Overall, 1st Corinthian) and 2014 World Championship (5th Overall, 1st Corinthian, 1st Female Driver) Source: BACARDI Miami Sailing Week 2015, Official Program  Tags: Corinthian , growing the sport , Heather Gregg-Earl , Keeping it real Related Posts Fostering the future of offshore sailing → Congrats to Magenta Project Class 2024 → Great friends, Cool boat, Sporty breeze → Activating club members to go sailing →© 2024 Scuttlebutt Sailing News.

Bristol Corinthian advice
I am going to look at a Bristol Corinthian 19 for sale locally. This will be my first boat bigger than a Sunfish. Does anyone have any experience with Corinthians and have any advice of what to check for? I am very pleased with my '78 ("Wind Song"). She is in near flawless condition. I sail her out of Callville Bay, on Lake Mead. Great boat for a party of two! If you want photos of what a Corinthian can be, ask and I will send you some. My boat was produced under the Sailstar name. I think they were better made under that company name than under the predecessor company, Bristol. There is literature on the internet you can read to make up your own mind. I suggest you line up a good trailer if you buy one of these boats. Check the trailering requirements of your state. Most likely you will have to buy a custom made trailer because it needs to be correctly sized to the boat, etc. Sailboat trailers are really hard to find, especially one in decent condition and suitable to your boat's size and displacement. Also, make sure your trailer has a keel guide- loading can be difficult without one. Lastly, fully open and inspect each sail for wear and tear; likewise for all of your standing rigging. As boats go, the Corinthian is a true classic, both in its design and its construction. If you are passionate about owning one and you don't mind the work required to bring it into bristol condition, it can be a very rewarding experience (just don't look at it in terms of return on investment- it isn't there... yet). Once you are there, stand-by; being accosted by the informed and uninformed alike is very common in my experience. Why? These boats show beautifully when in bristol condition, and especially when mounted on a beautiful trailer.  Hi Big Horn, Welcome to sailnet and the Bristol group! That post you replied to is 6 years old. I think you might be a bit late to respond to him. Hi Bruce, I just bought a Corinthian today for my family, wife and I and 10 and 13 year ole who are learning how to sail. We will do this on Eastern Lake Erie, mostly in a protected bay on the Canadian shore. I was looking for a Cape Dory Typhoon first, then started looking at the Corinthian and Ensign given their deeper, though non bailing cockpits. Was learning towards the Ensign because the cockpit is bigger, but the family wanted the Corinthian. One was available locally with solid hull and deck, but interior gutted and rotting beam under mast. Would have been a major rehab, but the price was right. Found a one owner boat on the east coast that I bought today. So having a little buyers remorse and looking forward to hearing all the great things about the Corinthian. Any advice on rehab projects, sails, trailering, etc is most welcome. The boat does collect a modest amount of water in the cavity immediately below the companionway in the cabin. the owner placed a small hole there to sponge up only water. Not crazy about that, but did not think it was a deal breaker. Thanks, Rich These guys have a good sized fleet of Corinthian's. I'm sure they could answer your questions. https://www.facebook.com/corinthianfleetone/timeline

Bristol 19/Sailstar Corinthian
Faith 1969 Corithian 19Merry Christmas. I have own a 1969 boat for the last 3 seasons. She was in rough shape when I got her but have slowly reconditioned the boat. I bought her for a handle of rum and had some concerns about the open cockpit but the price was right. After sailing for the last three years and having little kids I wouldn’t change the cockpit arrangement at all. It is deep and safe and gets you really close to the water. I have the boat on a morning in Newburyport Ma without a cockpit cover. I mounted a flexible solar panel on the companion way hatch that I purchased for about $120 on line. That connected to a small car battery provides enough charge to keep up with rain water and occasional water coming over the rail. After sailing her for three years I would make a few design modifications to improving sailing. I would increase the roach of the main sail to increase the weather helm, The boat has some lee helm in light air coming out of a tack. I would also cut away the front edge of the keel to reduce the turning radius and increase the size of the rudder. The rudder being triangle shape results in the top portion of the ruder to be very narrow and inefficient. I will make the modification to the rudder and increase the roach and add a small salt water trolling motor as I have not used a motor for the last 3 years. My good friend has a Cape Dory Typhoon. In general Typhoons tend to be in better condition as they have less wood work and less maintenance Sailing wise the Corinthian is faster on every point of sail and in all wind conditions from 1 knot to 25. Overall I am very happy with the boat and after refinishing the the wood work this winter the boat should be in “like new condition” this winter. Happy sailing. I would be very interested in what you would suggest about the rudder. Mine is sandwiched between two slabs of aluminum that someone must have done as a repair for the rudder disintergrating. This is one of my high priorities to get the boat back in the water safely. I would be interested in what size and shape you suggest as well as material suggestions? I had planned to core with okume and the sheath with cloth and epoxy but any suggestions? Thanks As a note I also was going to rebuild the framework with stainless rod welded to the rudderpost, similar I think to the original , but add more stainless rod as a webbing for strength. I have seen other boats (not Corinthians), with a stainless shell build around the frame then fiberglassed but that can be very expensive when considering the cost of stainless plate even just 16gauge I would be interested in the type of trailer you use. The trailer that came with the boat is toast, I am patching with welds just to be able to launch this year. Afer that I either have to build a new one or buy one which will be worth more than the boat.  Rich, I would keep the rudder the same shape as the original. My teak rudder is still in good shap, and I am happy with the way the boat handles. I can usually steer with 2 fingers, and can make tight turns. You might be able to make a stainless steel rod framework and fill with foam. You could then shape the foam and cover with a skin of fiberglass. You should be able to match the original shape. However; I have seen pictures of 2 different rudder shapes on Corinthians. Mine is squared off, and I have seen a rounded rudder. I made a trailer for my Corinthian from an old power boat trailer. I made 4 adjustable stands, and a longer tongue with a 7' extension for launching. I have about $400.00 in the trailer, including the $200.00 I paid for the powerboat trailer. Attachments I agree about the rudder and am thinking of doing as you say. My neighbor has an old powerboat trailer that looks similar to yours and once I get the boat off the existing old rusted trailer I will use that to fabricate one similar to yours. Thanks for the picture she looks fantastic. Happy New Year! I need to replace my spreaders. They were missing when I purchased my project boat. I would love some good pictures. Can any one measure from the outside of the mast to the shroud? On my mast there is just a hole through the mast (side to side) ehere they belong. My corinthian has a through bolt with spacers that the spreaders slide onto. I can measure the length of the spreaders tomorrow. joemcdonoughCorinthian #151 just launched Here is a photo; just got it launched. I've decided to sail it this season and take stock slowly of what it needs. The rudder will probably be the first major improvement.  Wow, what a cutie! (uh, the boat looks nice too) Have fun.
