About Us >>

Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced monohull sailor, our clinics are designed to address your specific needs and skill level.

In our clinics, we use a personal, intensive format, which allows you to gain significant knowledge and practical experience in a much shorter timeframe than learning it all by trial and error over years of ownership.

A multihull training clinic is an invaluable investment for anyone looking to safely, confidently, and efficiently sail a catamaran or trimaran, unlocking these vessels' unique benefits. Upwind trim…the fine points of downwind trim…even mast raising and lowering techniques featuring some of the largest trailerable trimaran masts.

In this June clinic, our owners wanted to focus on docking in all situations, tight slips, and mooring ideas. Every clinic emphasizes optimal sail trim, decision-making and sail choices in a big breeze, and how to keep your crew safe and everyone sane.

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.

Hi, I’m Richard Allen, the Founder of 180 Marine. 

I’m currently taking reservations for our upcoming events. I’m looking for individuals who are serious about maximizing their training experience to ensure a successful event. I’d like to organize groups of sailors with similar goals. 

Let’s chat and get to know one another. Meeting via Zoom is a great way to accomplish that.

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.
