International Paris Boat Show 2016 edition : The Day-Boats

Corsair Pulse 600 NEW 2016

This is the year’s major new boat from Corsair, which is re-launching into fun, sporty day-boats.
The Pulse 600 is above all a performance-oriented boat, whose high-tech construction gives it good performance under sail. The program for the Pulse, which like all of the company’s range is built in Vietnam, is clearly fun and speed for 3 or 4 people, who will be really comfortable in the XXL-sized cockpit. The small forward cabin will allow you to stow equipment, a picnic, or the spinnaker, and is particularly easily accessible, with its large opening. Nice.
The Pulse 600 can be folded and transported.
