There were built in St. Petersburg, Florida. They were built pretty stong but were pretty heavy too. Had a buddy that had one ... they certainly did not skimp on the wood!

This is the 40' Corsa. Hull mold and two decks (Race and pleasure) were purchased from Frank Thomas around 1980 by Randy Rabe of Rabco Marine St. Pete, FL.

I believe Sandy Satullo of Copper Kettle raced cutdown version of this hull at one time. www.njppc.com/classiclegends.htm
