180 Marine on tour - Denver, Colorado

---

Embrace adventure on a Corsair trimaran!
September, 24-26, 2020
Evaluate the Corsair 760 Sport.

180 Marine has a 2018 Corsair 760 Sport in Denver ready to demo sail and evaluate if this is the boat for you. If you fly to Denver it’s stored mast up at our local club lake in Southeast Denver. We can pick a late afternoon to demo sail, rule it in or out for you as a more affordable option than an 880.

You could buy this boat, or decide to order a 760R or Standard. This one will save you about $25,000 if you want the full-featured 760.

If the 760 doesn’t tick your boxes, then we shift to the Corsair 880.

Folding and unfolding a Corsair trimaran takes only minutes. With just 4 bolts to remove, it is easily managed by one person, and is normally done while the boat is afloat. Simply raise (to fold) or press (to unfold) the inboard end of one cross beam - meaning it can be done from the safety of the cockpit. Only a little force is needed due to the folding system;s carefully balanced geometry and the floats movement being mostly horizontal.

For Earth, Oceans, and Each Other

As COVID-19 affects the entire boating community, all in lock down mode…we’d like to share a few fun and insightful articles that may influence how to plan for better sailing days ahead. Whether you are a monohull sailor or trimaran sailor you will find these articles informative and entertaining. These are all published by 48 North Magazine, and powered by issue.

Now because Corsair trimarans are so versatile, they’re easy to fold, easy to trailer, fast and safe with a wide platform you might consider sailing one in Glacier Bay or sail from San Francisco Bay to Alaska and back with pets on board! Right?

We’d suggest sailing a Corsair 37 for longer voyages. The Corsair 37 offers all the comforts of a cruising monohull and the flat sailing of a big catamaran. It also has the speed, safety and unsinkability of a Corsair Trimaran. The Corsair 37 has an intelligently designed deck layout with halyards, topping lift, reffing and outhaul controlled at the mast. All other control lines aft to the cockpit for ease of sail handling and control.

The interior of this new and larger corsair brings more of the amenities you’ve come to expect from larger boats:  a functional yet spacious galley, ample cabinet and storage space, comfortable curved settee with seating for six, enclosed head with molded-in-vanity with sink and shower attachment.

Forward, a spacious V-berth easily sleeps two adults in unmatched comfort. Additional sleeping accommodations for two in spacious aft-cabin and the dining area converts into an additional bunk in the main cabin.

Multihulls are scheduled for one race in North San Diego Bay on Saturday, September 5. The entry fee is $65 and there is an optional social package of 5 drinks for $15. The fun-filled after-party and awards are at SDYC.

This is a great opportunity to get to know the trimaran community, the new Corsair 760, and the Corsair Pulse 600 at the 2020 San Diego NOOD Regatta. 180 Marine is dedicated to developing trimaran education, training, and racing in Southern California.

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!

Last year (2019) we had a trimaran fleet of 6 boats joining the North Sails Rally Race.
We expect to have at least 8 trimarans racing this year!

These boats and skippers are registered to date. Given the schedule change there may be sailors who can’t make it or others who can.

Mike Hall / Corsair Pulse 600 / Chop Chop
Mark Berdan / Farrier F82 R / UnEven Keel
Peter Lucas / Corsair 31 / Flexible Flyer

Videos that go beyond sailing...

Start planning your next sailing adventure!

Here we have a few "BEST OF" Corsair Trimaran and Seawind Catamaran sailing videos for you to enjoy, as you dream and plan for your next adventure...maybe it's lake sailing or some coastal hops until your big BVI trip!

The Corsair Trimarans and Seawind Catamarans are built to last, and are capable of sailing everywhere in all sorts of conditions! Enjoy and thank you for sharing your adventures! 

We started out with 3 reefs due to the fact that we were sailing in a busy shipping lane and often had to move over and alter course for the large ships (Ships do not give way to sail) , sea state was 2 to 3 m seas, 32 knots max gusts abating to 20 knots as we neared Singapore and calmer seas once away from the Straits Shipping Channel and NE Monsoon Winds.

For some it was quite gnarly out there for the first few days then turned to clear blue skies and a bit WINDY with big beautiful waves, everyone feelin’ alive! One thing for sure, whether you’re bluewater cruising, or ocean racing, it truly changes you.

Extremely Fast Trimaran - Mighty Merloe - San Diego to Ensenada Race

This is a video about the 2016 San Diego to Ensenada race. I am sculpting the craft of onboard reporting for the 2017 VOR. As tryouts and more cuts are to come I am trying to learn a good formula equipment wise as well as story telling.

Sailing from South America to Florida

This turned out to be an epic adventure...maybe more than any of us thought it would be. My uncle purchased a '91 F27 trimaran from a guy that had it moored in Santa Marta, Colombia. I agreed to help him and my cousin (both experienced sailors) sail it back to Florida. We encountered 25+ knot winds and 6-7 meter waves for 2 days, virtually zero wind for 3 days, imposing freight traffic on night watch, numerous mechanical and equipment failures, sea-sickness, and food poisoning....but also a lot of bonding, beautiful scenery, laughs, and once-in-a-lifetime moments.
