anchor is still stuck, feed out a few feet of line and
attach it to the bow cleat. Maneuver the boat around
the anchor, keeping the line firm. Locate an angle that
will pull the anchor free.
Foil Characteristics
The corsair Foiler 2200 has an alloy foil mounted
between the two hulls. This gives extra lift to the boat.
In doing so, the boat can travel faster, further, smoother
and more efficient.
To get the most use from the foil, you need to be trav-
eling at a minimum of 25 mph. This is approximately
the speed that the foil begins to lift the boat. This fig-
ure will vary depending on whether the boat is lightly
or heavily loaded.
Unlike V shaped hull boats, Catamarans usually lean
outwards when turning the boat at speed; however, the
Corsair Foiler 2200 is different. When turning at
speed, the Corsair Foiler 2200 will lean inwards. This
makes the ride more comfortable.
When passing another boat, you need to be aware of
your position in relation to the other boats wake.
Always cross another boats wake at least 45° or
greater. Crossing wake close to parallel can be dan-
gerous and uncomfortable.
Also remember when motoring, that anything you
motor over can get caught on the foil, plastic bags, sea-
weed and this can effect the performance. Please
remember to respect all marine life as you could seri-
ously injure or kill. This also includes human life.
Safety is paramount. It is the driver's responsibility to
be in complete control of the boat, the safety of the
boat, its passengers and to be aware of everything that
is in the vicinity of the boat.
Retrieving Your Boat
There are several ways to retrieve your boat. The
method described herein requires two persons.
> Drop someone off to back the trailer into the
water, or do it yourself, If doing it yourself,
make sure you make it easy and safe to exit the
boat after it is loaded onto the trailer.
> Back the trailer into the water until the bunks are
completely submerged, or until the middle roller
is just touching the water. (This depth should
provide enough to float the boat short of the
winch stand.)
> Drive the boat onto the middle of the trailer.
This is assuming it is a trailer designed for drive
on. Speed should not be over one or two knots.
Fast enough to maintain steerage but slow
enough to be easily controlled.
> Once the boat has touched the trailer, a little for-
ward throttle should secure the boat on the trail-
er and allow you to put the engine in neutral and
have the winch line attached to the bow eye.
The boat should now be easily winched onto the
last few feet of the trailer.
When properly done, this method is easy, safe and will
not harm boat ramps by powering away the soil from
the base of the ramp.
> Start engine on towing vehicle and pull trailer
out of water to boat securing area.
> Use tie-downs to secure boat on trailer.
> Remove the drain plug.
> Make sure lower unit is secure.
> Wipe hull down to prevent water spots and keep
hull clean.
> Make sure everything in the boat is secured or
tied down. Place anything loose in towing
vehicle.
> Reconnect trailer lights. Check that lights are
working.
