All had a great time!
Participants came from Alaska, Canada, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, and California. Despite the weather, everyone came prepared for anything. It rained and rained and the wind blew! The Corsair 880’s handled oh so well. We were hitting speeds up to 18 knots! What a great environment for training.
Our participants had 2 days of training on and off the water, covering the “essentials” of trimaran sailing. Docking, safety procedures, sail management, sail trim, boat handling downwind sailing techniques, and spinnaker handling were the primary focus.
At this April event, we had 3 new Corsair 880s. These trimarans were owned by local skippers in the Corsair community. BIG THANK YOU for allowing everyone to train on your trimarans.
“What a freakin’ blast you guys. Last weekend was chock full of nuts and nuggets of insights about the 880 and sailing in fresh breezes on trimarans in general. Thank you so much for organizing this event. ”
Our trainers certainly had their work cut out for them!

Sailing in “Hurricane Alley” - San Pedro, California. Located at the southern end of the Palos Verdes Peninsula at the end of Los Angeles, San Pedro Bay was first used by Spanish ships starting in the 1540s. Along its waterfront are shipyards, dry docks, fish canneries, and oil refineries, as well as a memorial to the merchant marines. Los Angeles Air Force Base and Cabrillo Beach are on Point Fermin at the peninsula’s southern tip. Built in 1874, the Point Fermin Lighthouse was the first navigational light into the San Pedro Bay.
