I founded 180 Marine to inspire connection within the trimaran sailing community through my passion for embracing my love for three hulls! “At my core, I’m a problem solver.” I always want to bring you state-of-the-art ideas you can appreciate and move forward with. We draw inspiration from our customers, vendors, and, of course, competitors.
