Corby 34.7r

We purchased this “one off” Corby 34.7 back in March 2025 to do the Fastnet with in July 2025.

We sailed the boat about 2,000 miles this summer and have done RORC Fastnet qualifying events, Round the Island race, the Tattinger regatta, some round the cans racing out of Lymington and completed the Fastnet in 4 days and 19 hours.

This boat is great fun to sail. She is light weight (carbon, kevlar & GRP composite hull and carbon mast), responsive, balanced and very fast both up and down wind (we have regularly seen 17+ knots downwind through the water).

We sailed it with a bow sprit kite set up but has the option to put the retractable pole and/or symmetric pole back on the boat. It is currently rated under IRC at 1.033.

It has everything required to do offshore racing including life raft etc. (a long list of requirements – see items below).

We have a survey report from March 2025 when we purchased the boat and did a few upgrades before the season started (listed below).

It has a full suite of racing sails including a carbon main, J1, J2 and J3 and a racing A2 (brand new) and A4. It also comes with many cruising / delivery sails.

The navigation equipment includes 2 Axion 7’s and 2 i70’s.

There is a folder full of receipts and information (stix workings etc.) and a book showing its construction.

Comes with collapsible cradle.

The boat is located in Lymington.
