The Westerly Corsair was designed by Ed Dubois, and introduced at the 1983 Southampton Boat Show as a replacement for the earlier Conway design. The design aim was to produce a better performing yacht than the Conway, and to improve the interior. The original prototype Corsair had two single aft berths, with no aft heads, and a ketch rig was also intended to be an option. Few ketches were ever sold, and the aft cabin layout for production boats was very soon changed to have an athwartships double and an aft heads. The revised design was very popular, and over 100 were built between 1984 and 1986.

In 1986 the Mk II version was produced, this using identical hull and deck mouldings, and having fairly minor internal changes, including alterations to the galley, a U-shaped berth in the saloon and a backrest and seat for the navigator, moving the passage berth by the chart table aft, and in turn reducing locker space in the aft cabin. The numbers sold of the Corsair Mk II were never as high as the Mk I, with about 50 sold until 1989/90, when the hull and deck mouldings were enlarged and revised to create the Oceanranger.

Corsairs were originally fitted with 28 hp Volvo diesels, but later boats had a 43 hp turbodiesel, as the 28 hp was generally regarded as slightly underpowered for such a large yacht.






	The Corsair has a vee-double forecabin with the forward heads compartment and large hanging lockers in the passageway through to the saloon. The forecabin berth makes up into a double 74" long by 78" wide at the aft end, tapering forward. In the saloon a U-shaped galley is to starboard, with chart table and a passage berth, the forward edge of which forms the navigators seat, to port. The port side settee berth in the saloon converts to a double. There is a walk through to the aft cabin, with an athwartships double berth and en-suite aft heads compartment.
