The Corsair CRUZE 970 retains the hallmarks of the Corsair 31: speed, performance, safety, reliability and ease of trailering. However, it also has a far greater emphasis on people and families. The CRUZE 970 far more effectively accommodates for the needs of partners, guests and children on the boat who also appreciate the comforts found on land.
The 970 is longer than the C31 and the deck has been raised which creates an estimated 15 per cent additional space in the interior. Importantly, there is full, standing headroom which is greatly appreciated by tall passengers.
The salon area has been given a clean, white painted finish. The galley area is larger with more drawers and storage generally. The forward and aft bunks are wider giving passengers a more generous sleep.
A separate, fully enclosed toilet has been installed in the CRUZE970.
The more functional cockpit has been extended and a transom mainsheet track facilitates free movement within the cockpit. The raised, side seating (which has been borrowed from the highly successful Corsair 37) increases both comfort and visibility.
