Hm, Battleship does a hell of a lot more on a per-hit basis so Corsairs can KB earlier, if not as well once both classes can KB. Battleship isn't too much of an inconvenience once it builds up some durability. It's not like Hurricane gives you much mobility, either (though archers do come equipped with more skills that make up for low mobility, such as DB, Puppet, and MB.) I have both (well, not a Corsair, yet, obviously) so I don't think I'm speaking with any bias. Both have their upsides and downsides. Corsairs have the upper hand in a theoretical battle where you don't recieve any damage and your target doesn't move. Bowmasters and Marksmen have a lot of support skills that give them the ability to deal with situations that Corsairs can't handle well, and they don't rely on Battleship, so they might win in a realistic matchup at, say, Zakum or Horntail, or Bigfoot.
