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
