Three new Corsair trimaran models will be racing and on display. Come up and learn about these 2 award winning trimarans the Corsair 760 and the Pulse 600.
Superior safety is inherent in the design and construction of the Corsair boats.
The Corsair 760 is incredibly easy to sail, even single-handed. Sometimes you choose to be sailing alone, and sometimes it just ends up that way with the crew asleep after a great summer’s day out on the water. All sail controls lead back to the cockpit. The Corsair 760 sails with almost zero heeling. It slips through the water with a minimum of fuss and gets you home quickly & safely.
This exciting new 20′ trimaran is full of Corsair DNA modernized to meet the latest generation of sailors. On a product more compact and affordable than ever before, you can be part of the growing 180 Sail Community.
Featuring lightweight carbon reinforced construction, this boat will get your pulse racing in even the lightest of winds.
180 Marine is the fastest growing Corsair & Seawind Dealer in the United States, owned and operated by Richard Allen and Leslie Gabriel, long-time Corsair Trimaran racers, day sailors and adventure cruisers.

Lake Granby, Colorado / Richard Allen demonstrating the importance of downhaul trim using the cunningham control on the Corsair 760.
These boats LOVE tension in the lower part of the sail to move the draft forward and reduce healing.
It’s (nearly) a primary control on these boats. Ask us about downhaul rigging for your jib!
