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.

180 Marine will be in San Pedro, California ready for you to view and evaluate if this is the boat for you.

Corsair trimaran training - San Francisco, California

Richard Allen enjoyed a delivery sail on a 2018 Corsair 760 Sport on San Francisco Bay. The boat was towed cross-country to a new owner this month. We had great wind conditions for a first sail, and this Corsair came all the way out west from Arkansas to meet its new owner. Michael has plans to sail in the bay with fellow trimaran sailors, Ross Stein and Rafi Yahalom, they are a couple of the most experienced trimaran sailors on the bay! That will help the learning curve…

This Corsair 760 Sport was customized for race-winning performance and easy cruising. Dealer mods include the primary and secondary control lines leading back to the cockpit. At 180 Marine we make a point to discuss deck layout with owners to optimize sailing efficiency for the sailing they enjoy most. There’s no single solution that’s best.

Nothing is underdone. The traveler purchase is increased from 3:1 to 4:1. The mainsail halyard is doubled from 1:1 to 2:1. The mainsheet is upgraded from 5:1 - 8:1. Making these changes offers easier trimming and lower loads on the lines. Bottom line is extending the the life of the rigging and a key benefit is trimming and tacking much smoother.

As speed increases so do the loads. After 10 knots it’s really nice to have extra purchase. Makes life easier on the crew and captain!

The new Corsair 880 update

Tick tock, tick tock goes the clock

It’s so rhythmic it’s almost soothing. It lulls you into a false sense of security. Tick another coffee. Tock another meeting. Tick another lunch. Tock another quiet night in.

And before you know it, you’re so numb from the comfort of routine that you didn’t feel a thing as that great adventure called life slipped away like sand between your fingers.

But fear not, adventure has other plans. Roll with them! Embrace adventure!

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.

Corsair Trimaran Performance Sailing Clinic - 2019

Randy Smyth coaching student

The 2019 Windcraft trimaran performance sailing clinic will be taught by Randy Smyth on May 18-19, 2019. (sold out) Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

We are very fortunate to have a world-class sailor, Olympic sailing coach and sailing movie “stuntman” Randy Smyth as chief instructor. Randy has a systematic, easy to use, approach to arriving at optimal sail trim, and he also has a host of personal experience to draw on which he shares willingly. Two other trimaran sailing coaches/racers/owners Don Wigston and Richard Allen will be assisting Randy. Topics covered in classroom presentations will be immediately be reinforced with on-the-water drills. Among the several positive aspects of the Performance Sailing Clinic which you might observe is the quality of the instruction, the patient onboard coaching from each assistant instructor, and the camaraderie among the participants and coaches stand out. When the group connects, good things happen!  The focus of the clinic is to help current Corsair owners learn to sail their own boats more efficiently, and for newcomers to sample the joys and thrills of sailing on Corsair trimarans.

Sailors will be coming from many different places (Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida) with different levels of experience will be meeting one another for the first time. Different levels of sailing experience in a group can sometimes cause frustration and potentially divide the group, but from past clinics, this has never been an issue.

The clinic covers a variety of topics from docking and anchoring, using tell tales to trim and steer for maximum speed, techniques for tacking and jibing, how to set up a spinnaker, spinnaker hoisting and dousing, man-overboard recovery, judging a starting line and more.

Even though some of the topics covered in the classroom sessions, demonstrations, and drills are very challenging for some of the less experienced participants, each sailor's skills will improve from where they were at the beginning to the last set of on-the-water drills. The spirit of team effort camaraderie helped each participant to make good on each tack, gybe or spinnaker set or takedown, thereby extending themselves and improving their skills and confidence.

By Sunday afternoon everyone present will have 20 more friends than when you first arrived! Which underscores one of the great things about owning a Corsair trimaran--you become part of a friendly, supportive group whose members worldwide are constantly helping one another get the most out enjoyment out of their boats.

For more information about this clinic contact Richard Allen.

Richard is a long-standing Corsair trimaran expert with vast experience across all models.
