180 Marine is hosting the next demo event in Long Beach, California, on March 23-24, 2024.

Corsair 880 trimaran / Corsair 760 trimaran

We invite you to come experience a Corsair 760 side-by-side with a Corsair 880. Each delivers loads of fun for everyone. We realize it’s important to actually see a Corsair trimaran to determine if a trimaran is right for you. These boats are safe, sail flat, roomy, and go fast when you want them to.

Come to our meet and greet… like-minded sailors with questions like yours. Two of our most recent owners have graciously agreed to share their boats for this small event. Big thanks to both of them!

Our instructors for the weekend are Richard Allen, Founder of 180 Marine. Richard has been racing, crewing, and training on Corsairs for 25 years. He is passionate about these boats. Scott Klodowski is the second instructor and operations director at 180 Marine. Scott has extensive experience racing multihulls. As a local in the Long Beach area, Scott is out on the water almost every day, testing and tuning these amazing multihulls.

Participants are very limited, sign up today!

760 Corsair: Three per session.

880 Corsair: Four per session.

A big thank you to all who came to participate in the 2021 Helly Hansen NOOD Regatta

San Diego has always been a beautiful place to hold this Regatta. This year winds were a bit shifty and overall a bit chilly. The focus on Saturday the 20th (1-day official Rally Race event with multiple fleets, one dedicated to trimarans) was on boat handling and good teamwork. The overall multihull fleet consisted of 5 boats this year each with good local knowledge of San Diego Bay. Nevertheless, the trimaran community came together once again!

Did you know...the NOOD Regatta series was founded in Newport, Rhode Island, by the editors of Sailing World in 1988 to help foster the growing interest in racing one-design sailboats.

We're making this our "regular stop" on our annual trimaran event schedule! Thanks, guys, and gals, there was great camaraderie among all who participated. Let's keep building the trimaran fleet in Southern, California! Here are a few characters from the 2021 Helly Hansen NOOD Regatta event in San Diego.

Just a few weeks before this Corsair 880 SPORT / VALKYRIE was imported and commissioned by 180 Marine, the new owners Brian and Kelly Arnett decided to join the race. What better way to see how she/they would perform? So off they went for 2 days with an experienced crew for training and tactics. They really wanted to see what the 880 Sport was capable of delivering. On race day the winds were shifty and mild which is another kind of challenge! The race committee set the official event at 17 nautical miles inside San Diego Bay based on the wind forecast. Turned out to be a bit long…

Anyway, the focus on Friday the 19th was launch and crew practice. Learn what matters most…and what to anticipate. Three new owners needed to learn some of the basic boat handling skills on a multihull. With coaching and support from Richard Allen, Jeff Vaught, and Leslie Gabriel from 180 Marine they spent a lot of time making sure the Corsair was set up correctly and ready to perform. Did a bit of sailing in the bay just to make sure they would have zero problems… and knew the course and marks.

The focus on Saturday the 20th (1-day official Rally Race event with multiple fleets, one dedicated to trimarans) was on boat handling and good teamwork. The overall multihull fleet consisted of 5 boats this year each with good local knowledge of San Diego Bay. Wind conditions were shifty and oscillating, so we decided to not make (too) many transitions and avoid mistakes. A couple of times the team thought about flying the spinnaker downwind… but stayed with the screecher downwind on a winding course. Upwind the main and jib are the ticket!

At this year’s NOOD Regatta, we were expecting at least 7-10 trimarans in our fleet, only 5 could make it. This year there was a Farrier F82R, Corsair 28, Corsair 31, Corsair 880 Sport, and a Corsair 760. What a fantastic day!

We’re working with local owners to make this a fun and exciting event for everyone in the trimaran community. Fun challenges like this bring our community closer together through socializing, networking, and of course some hard and fast legs on the racecourse! We hope to see you next year! No more of the COVID thing!
