Trimaran Training Clinics from 180 Marine

Our Trimaran Sailing Clinics are designed to provide the essential foundations of sailing skills on a Corsair or Dragonfly trimaran. Learn how to sail your own trimaran even better… or sample what Corsair and Dragonfly trimarans are like to sail. Participants gain extensive hands-on experience, building the necessary sailing skills and knowledge.

Our gracious trimaran owners have agreed to help build the trimaran community by allowing us to use their boats for demos and training. Our demos and training clinics are held most often in Long Beach, CA, a great location for predictable wind conditions.

180 Marine offers three options to experience a Corsair 760 or the Corsair 880 Standard and Corsair 880 Sport.

Our instruction is extremely comprehensive. We believe strongly that the best way to learn how to sail is by actually sailing!  And with a maximum of three sailors per boat, all sailors are certain to receive plenty of personal attention. Participants gain extensive hands-on experience, building the sailing skills and knowledge specifically for sailing a trimaran.

We’ve been sailing Corsairs and other trimarans for over 30 years and are happy to share our experience.
