Corbin

Marius Corbin founded Corbin les Bateaux Inc. in 1977 in Quebec, Canada to build a boat which would, in his words, meet his “simple” requirements for a boat of “about 40 feet, comfortable, giving good performance to windward and in light air, strong enough for around-the-world cruising, an interior layout suitable for two persons or a small family, and built to the highest specs.”

The result of his search for such a boat was a collaboration between Marius Corbin and Robert Dufour, a naval architect in Montreal, Quebec. Dufour specialized in custom designs and had designed and built “Harmonie”, a sailboat of a size and with performance that Corbin found suitable for his needs.

Corbin released one model, the Corbin 39. There were plans to build a 35 ft sailboat but a fire at the production facility stopped these plans.
