Operational history

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "over 700 of these shippy-looking little sloops were built between 1965 and the early 1980s. Alberg’s designs are so distinctive that his trademark look is hard to miss... while not usually seen on the racing circuit, like most Alberg designs, this ones a solid, wholesome, forgiving, and easy-to-sail vessel, great for daysailing and overnighting in that harbor a few miles away from your home base. Best features: The Corinthian’s springy sheer, extended overhangs fore and aft, and reasonably good finish make her a pleasure to behold. Her in-the-cockpit engine well offers convenience to the helms-person, and because of her hull shape, keeps propeller cavitation in waves to a minimum. Worst features: Her SA/D of 15.3 is in the 'very low' category, and her D/L of 399 is considered very high, making her relatively slow in light air."
