San Francisco Bay Area Multihull Association

There is always something fun going on in San Francisco!

BAMA is the primary organization supporting multihull racing, cruising, and safety in Northern California. As well as organizing multihull racing and cruising events, BAMA is the official source of Multihull PHRF Rating Certificates in Northern California. To race in Northern California regattas open to multihulls, you need a rating certificate issued by BAMA.

BAMA sponsors SF Bay multihull-specific regattas and series for its members, including the Whales Chase Multihull Regatta, the BAMA Cup, and the Fast Cat Cup. The club also hosts events open to all, including safety seminars, club socials, and organized cruising outings.

Below is Rafi, a BAMA member, sailing his new Corsair 880 in San Francisco Bay. Rafi worked closely with 180 Marine in Long Beach, California, to fully customize his Corsair 880 with many upgrades. Rafi plans to race in the SBMR Regatta/Corsair National on another 880 skippered by Michael Acker. Michael’s 880 (M&M) was also customized for better performance by 180 Marine. 2024 SBMR Regatta / Corsair Regionals

This week we’re excited to sail the new Corsair 880 Sport in Pensacola, Florida. The final destination for this Corsair 880 Sport will be near Austin, Texas. We’re lucky the weather has been perfect for commissioning. Out of the box the 880 is BIG!

Our support team is AWESOME to work with at Advanced Yachtworks, Zern Rigging, Windcraft, Legendary Motors and Pensacola Shipyard. These trimarans don’t come out of the container ready to sail… there are many days of commissioning work to be done and 180 Marine has a great network ensuring smooth outcomes. As a Corsair trimaran expert Richard Allen has over 25 years of experience sailing and optimizing these amazing trimarans. Having state of the art equipment at the boatyard makes the job go smoother ie: a Marine Travel Lift with a 220,000 lb. capacity and a 14-ton mobile crane and a 4000 lb. 21’ long forklift boom make short work of it in capable hands.

180 Marine has many Corsair 880’s arriving throughout the U.S. in 2021 so what a great way to start the new year! Some will arrive via Pensacola, Florida and some will arrive via Los Angeles, California. We work hard to find the right fit for your sailing needs, and customize what's available until it's perfect for you. More Corsair owners have chosen 180 Marine this year than any other source.

We want to share the commissioning experience with you as the Corsair 880s arrive from afar. Enjoy these detailed images of the Pensacola delivery and first sail.
