Overview
About this vessel
“Mickey” is a 1981 Corbin 39, a proven Canadian-built bluewater cruiser designed for serious offshore sailing. Renowned for her Airex foam core construction, encapsulated lead keel, and cutter rig, this model has long been respected among long-range cruisers for its strength, safety, and ocean-going capability.
Following a substantial 0,000+ refit completed in 2024 025, Mickey is presented in excellent, turn-key condition, ready for immediate cruising, whether coastal exploration around Langkawi and Phuket or extended offshore passages.
