Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow! what a ride!”
- Hunter S. Thompson

A few of the most exciting things we’ve published recently:

Join 180 Marine in Long Beach, California, on APRIL 13 and 14
for two days of hands-on on-the-water training covering the “essentials” of trimaran sailing, from docking, safety procedures, sail management,
sail trim, boat handling, and more. You’ll learn the fundamentals and
what matters most to sail safely and efficiently.

At the heart of the trailerable Dragonfly 28 Performance’s new look and feel are a pair of dramatically reconfigured amas to enhance both speed and stability. Most noticeable are the wave-piercing bows, a design feature whose benefits cannot be overestimated when pushing a boat like this hard in rough conditions. Not so obvious, but equally important, is the fact that the amas are almost 2ft longer and provide 20 percent more volume, which in turn translates into sail-carrying ability. In fact, according to Quorning CEO Jens Quorning, the amas now provide sufficient buoyancy to fly the central hull like a MOD 70. Nice!

To take full advantage of this additional stability, the 28 Performance carries the same larger rig as the Sport version, but with even beefier spreaders and standing rigging to help support the boat’s carbon mast in blusterier conditions. The rudder is also 10in deeper to provide that much more control, and the centerboard features a nifty hinged hull opening to seal the trunk when it’s retracted. Laminated Elvstrøm Technora EEPX sails come standard. 

A kind owner has agreed to show his 2022 Dragonfly 28 Performance at the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show.
Please contact us if you will be attending the show.

DID YOU KNOw…
Is Dyneema stronger than Kevlar?

You've probably heard about these fibers' strength-to-weight ratio before. Kevlar® states it is five times stronger than steel on an equal-weight basis, and Dyneema® boasts an impressive 15 times stronger. ... Kevlar® has a tensile strength of 3620 MPa, and Dyneema® has 3600 MPa of tensile strength.

Corsair 880, “Boat of the Year” in 2021!

“The Corsair 880 is cool, cool, cool. Comfortable canvas bench seats. A nice little interior with all the basics for pleasant camping-­style cruises. A rotating carbon-fiber spar. A tiller with an extension, and the traveler and mainsheet right at hand. Sails up, daggerboard down. As good as it gets.

We tacked upwind for a while to say we did, got some ­numbers, and then the real fun commenced. First, bye-bye jib; hello Code Zero. Welcome to the realm of double-digit boat speeds, which always feel faster when you’re reaching on a screamer under 30 feet. Greetings, sailing world, indeed.

We swapped the helm back and forth and took snapshots of one another. Who had the biggest smile? It was a tie. Then the kite went up for the run back to the dock. Heaven on Buzzard’s Bay.

There wasn’t another boat around, and for that matter, there wasn’t another boat in the competition that matched up with the Corsair. But you can be sure as heck we were still going to name it the year’s Best Sportboat. Which we could. So we did.”

The Corsair 760 sails with almost zero heeling. It slips through the water with minimal fuss and gets you home quickly & safely.

180 Marine Testimonials

“It means so much to us to hear back from our customers, many of whom have become good friends and partners. We look forward to supporting each and every one of you on your adventures in sailing and living the best life possible!”
— Richard and Leslie, 180 Marine

“I want to thank you both for the time spent this past weekend commissioning my new Corsair 760R. I can’t tell you how valuable the experience was for me. I felt like a sponge attempting to absorb all the information Richard was imparting. Richard you are a natural teacher/leader — not sure how you remain calm in every situation — always coming up with a thoughtful plan and executing without a hitch. One of the greatest lessons of this weekend is watching how you react to unexpected and sudden events sometimes emergent – not too dissimilar to heart surgery — I wish I had more of your calm demeanor — something to emulate.”
— Michael A

"Richard and Leslie are the power couple of their industry. My wife and I flew to Denver from Southern California, where we choose to have our boat delivered and so thankful we did. The lake provided perfect conditions to see the performance of the Corsair 760. Richard and Leslie were extremely understanding, accommodating to our needs, worked at our pace, and guided us through each step of the process. When we left Denver, we felt as if we were leaving friends we’ve known and sailed with forever. We look forward to new adventures with this dynamic duo.”

“This was my first boat purchase and I had done my research and then still had many questions. Richard is extremely knowledgable  about all the Corsair models. I decided to purchase a Corsair 760 for the family. Working through many of the details like financing, boat performance and training was easy and smooth with Richard. He is a good communicator.”
— Hoku M

“Richard provided excellent and timely documents for the invoicing, sales agreement and associated documents to complete the sale. In addition from the outset of our communication, you made me feel a member of the team "180 Marine". You provided detailed information on the Corsair Sprint 750 MKII, that enabled me to make an informed choice to purchase a Hydro Hoist or Sun Stream boat lift, and you were always available for individual or joint problem resolution.

Jeff, you were my hands on guy. You doubled down by speaking with individuals at the hoist companies making certain they had all the information needed and that you would be there for the final touches loading the Corsair on the hoist at our dock. And, for other potential Corsair owners, you commented that I could under-coat the hull and floats and save money; but at the same time, provide a handsome visual experience for the owner and onlookers. Three coats would last a long time, black was your preference.

I was particularly impressed with the time you took for my trial of the boat at Oceanside Harbor Marina. You painstakingly and deliberately got the boat off the trailer into to the water and smartly rigged. Little "hitches" came up but you problem solved them all. One "hitch" required a trip to the Marina Hardware to pick up one missing bolt needed to secure the mast.

Also, very impressive to me, you brought a Farrier sailing friend to assist in my training on the exquisite sailing machine, Corsair Sprint 750. On the water you and your friend showed your expertise and love of sailing. Your calm demeanor, knowledge of the boat, and its handling was simply impressive.

I don't feel I have "gone overboard" on my praise or appreciation. It's just my honest assessment. Thank you.

— Ed R

“Richard Allen held my hand managing the buying process at every step of my used yacht purchase. Richard has a calm, smooth character. This business style made the anxieties of this process come down to a very comfortable level.

After I actually owned my Corsair 970, Richard went above and beyond to help me sail it from Long Beach to San Diego, where it was secured for shipment to my final destination in the Midwest. Since then he’s been an invaluable source of support.

I literally felt as if Richard and I were old friends on a spectacular vacation!”
— Tom W

“First class service. I could not have asked for a better experience or boat. I highly recommend Corsair and 180 Marine for your next boat purchase.”
JT Cody

“Working with Richard has been a positive experience. He was very attentive to all of my needs and worked closely with the factory in Vietnam to make sure my requests were heard. I had many questions as I wanted to modify my Seawind 1160 quite a bit for my family and the long passage from Vietnam to the Whitsundays, Australia.”
— David C

“I had the fantastic experience to buy a Corsair Pulse 600 from Richard and Leslie. They flew all the way down to Puerto Vallarta Mexico to deliver a red Pulse 600 and give me some lessons on how to sail and store it. I can just say all worked perfectly, much better than expected. Three years later…they helped me quickly find a buyer and successfully sell my Seawind 1000 XL.” 
— Guillermo S

“Richard Allen and Leslie Gabriel with 180 Marine make the most customer-oriented, knowledgeable and caring boat- selling team I have ever met. I really appreciate the way they are working, I feel I have a trusted Corsair contact even though I didn’t buy a Pulse 600 from them, but I finally decided to buy a used Corsair 750 Sprint.” 
— Jeffrey S

“We’ve had the pleasure of buying a Corsair Sprint 750 MKII from Richard and Leslie with 180 Marine. Being first-time boat owners they made the experience enjoyable, effortless and serene. We took delivery of the boat in Oceanside, California where Richard and Leslie went above and beyond to truly customize the experience for our family and teach us all the technical aspects of the boat.”
— Paul and Miriana

“My Pulse 600 has been with me for two weeks now and it’s been wonderful. Richard came to Milwaukee Harbor to finish fitting her out and gave me some lessons. It was a joy to work with Richard and Leslie to find the right boat for me. It’s hard to describe my satisfaction with the Pulse without describing why I wanted it. To put it succinctly: I wanted a Pulse because it looked simple to own while being safe and fun to sail.

Many thanks to 180 Marine for helping me feel young again, and how much is THAT worth when you’re grinding out family income all week.”
— Gary S
