Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow! what a ride!”

2024 Boat of the Year Best Trimaran: The Dragonfly 40 Ultimate
Sailing World magazine announced on December 20th, the winners of its 2024 Boat of the Year competition.
The Dragonfly 40 Ultimate is a work of art inside and out, and when the sails are up, this tri flies!
Dragonfly Trimaran Demo Sails in the US
Dragonfly has several locations nationwide where you can try out a Dragonfly trimaran. If you value foldable/trailerable performance over the finish, then a Corsair may be a good choice. But, if you value foldable/trailerable refinement over pure performance then a Dragonfly is the way to go.
Some owners have agreed to show and demo their Dragonfly trimaran. This is a great way to get first-hand information from an owner about the Dragonfly experience.
These award-winning trimarans are designed and built by Quorning Boats in Denmark,
a family-owned business established in 1967.
Racing in Southern California
2024 Catalina Island Series
Registration is open for the 2024 CA Offshore Race Week, featuring coastal races racing down the California Coast in May/June 2024.
The ultimate part of the California Offshore Race Week is that this event starts in the sunny city of Santa Barbara, runs out through multiple scoring gates while weaving through the Channel Islands, and then finishes in beautiful San Diego.
Scott Klodowski, 180 Marine’s operations team leader will be an active crew member on John Gallagher’s Gunboat 62 Chim Chim. This Morrelli and Melvin-designed catamaran was built 15 years ago in South Africa yet has remained incredibly active in the last five years: not only has she raced in the 2015 and 2017 Transpac races to Honolulu at 2225 miles each, but she also raced over 1000 miles in the 2018 San Diego-Puerto Vallarta Race and a few editions of California Race Week as well. Scott Klodowski races and continues to refine and tune this beauty!

Our gracious Corsair trimaran owners have agreed to help build the trimaran community by allowing us to use their boats for demos and training. Our demos and training clinics are held in Long Beach, CA, a great location for predictable wind conditions.
180 Marine offers three options to experience a Corsair 760 or the Corsair 880 Standard and Corsair 880 Sport.
Corsair 880, “Boat of the Year”
“The Corsair 880 is cool, cool, cool. Comfortable canvas bench seats. A nice little interior with all the basics for pleasant camping-style cruises. A rotating carbon-fiber spar. A tiller with an extension, and the traveler and mainsheet right at hand. Sails up, daggerboard down. As good as it gets.
We tacked upwind for a while to say we did, got some numbers, and then the real fun commenced. First, bye-bye jib; hello Code Zero. Welcome to the realm of double-digit boat speeds, which always feel faster when you’re reaching on a screamer under 30 feet. Greetings, sailing world, indeed.
We swapped the helm back and forth and took snapshots of one another. Who had the biggest smile? It was a tie. Then the kite went up for the run back to the dock. Heaven on Buzzard’s Bay.
There wasn’t another boat around, and for that matter, there wasn’t another boat in the competition that matched up with the Corsair. But you can be sure as heck we were still going to name it the year’s Best Sportboat. Which we could. So we did.
