Power Your Adventure Differently
Come meet the sailors, tour the boats, and connect with the team from 180 Marine at the Encinal Yacht Club on the Alameda Estuary. See firsthand how electric propulsion and integrated solar are changing the way Corsair owners cruise. Meet the owners behind these innovative installations, hear why they made the switch, and discover how renewable energy can provide greater independence, extended range, and a quieter, more enjoyable sailing experience. We will be gathering at the Encinal Yacht Club on July 15-20. Racing begins on July 17-19.
The Corsair 880 and 760 were designed to be light, efficient, and exhilarating under sail. It only makes sense that the propulsion system should reflect those same values.
At 180 Marine, we've developed renewable energy packages that seamlessly integrate electric propulsion with high-efficiency solar charging. The result is a quieter, cleaner, and more self-sufficient sailing experience—one that reduces your dependence on fuel docks while extending your range through the power of the sun.
This isn't about replacing sailing with technology. It's about using technology to enhance sailing. Imagine leaving the harbor in complete silence, maneuvering effortlessly with instant torque, and knowing your batteries are quietly recharging while you're anchored or under sail. No fuel smells. No oil changes. No noisy outboard interrupting the moment. Just you, your trimaran, and the freedom to explore with confidence.
Every installation is thoughtfully engineered for the unique performance characteristics of the Corsair 880 and 760, balancing weight, efficiency, and reliability to create a system that feels like it was always meant to be there.
Electric Motors / There are five criteria used to distinguish electric motors:
> Frequency characteristics
> Alternating field generation (commutation)
> Magnetic field excitation
> Structural design
> Magnetic field direction relative to the rotational axis
High-Performance Lithium Batteries:
Empowering Electric Mobility with Exceptional Energy and Durability
Lithium-based batteries are the technology of choice for electric mobility applications. They store significantly more energy than all other batteries, and they maintain a high current; they do not lose their charging capacity, they supply power reliably, and they have no memory effect. They also have a much longer useful life than lead-based batteries.
Torqeedo has pioneered the development of lithium batteries for marine applications since 2005. As we continuously improve our technology, we offer the most comprehensive and integrated protection and safety concept for lithium batteries on the market – coupled with performance and convenience.
