180 Trimaran Club
Shared-ownership for an exceptional experience.
The only Corsair 880 shared-ownership club is launching in Long Beach, California, starting September 2025.
On a short Zoom call, we’ll explore the obvious questions to see if this program is an excellent fit for you this year.
Here are a few ideas to get our conversation started…
1. Financial Considerations
How much is the initial deposit to join a group of like-minded owners? $10,000 refundable reservation deposit
What is the anticipated acquisition cost for each owner? $58,750 one-time investment for fractional ownership
How much are the anticipated monthly costs for each owner? $850 per month covering all ownership expenses
Are there any monthly management fees? No
How will you accommodate rate changes due to future cost changes, such as insurance? Annual review approved by members
Do the costs include initial California sales tax and annual use tax on a group's vessel? Yes, taxes will be managed by member approval
2. Usage and Logistics
How many days am I entitled to sail each month? One week for each member-share
How do I reserve (or cancel) reservation days when I wish to sail? Online owner management portal
Will I enjoy reciprocal rights to trimarans in other locations? Yes
Who provides the weekly and periodic management? 180 Marine
Who manages periodic inspections for each owner group? 180 Marine
3. Ownership Details
What are the model years of the boats planned for each group? 2025 Corsair 880 and Corsair 970
Is this program possible with just 3 or 4 owners per Corsair, or must it be a larger group? It’s limited to this size
Will boats be chartered to sailors outside of the listed-owner members? No
How do you determine if I’m qualified to operate a group trimaran? Training is included for all members at no extra cost.
4. Managing the Future and Satisfaction Guarantees
How do I leave my ownership group in the future? This will be documented and approved by each owner group
Is it possible to transfer to a new group, with a new location? Yes, as documented and approved by each owner group
What are the satisfaction guarantees? 180 Marine will provide a buy-out provision that protects all the members of a group
Please let me know if you think a short conversation is worthwhile.
A “no” answer is just as helpful as a “yes” since I’m not promoting this to everyone, just a very small group.
