Insights

The Corsair II is a yawl designed by Olin Stephens, one of the most famous naval architects who, in the New York studio “Sparkman & Stephens”, has signed numerous boat projects that have participated in various editions of the America's Cup. It was made entirely of mahogany and teak in the Costaguta shipyards of Genoa Voltri in 1960 and is the first of the vintage units commissioned by the Navy.
