180 Marine is a dealer specializing in new and pre-owned trimarans, with a focus on Corsair and Dragonfly performance trimarans. In addition to brokerage and sales, we host sailing clinics throughout the year in Southern California, designed to help sailors build confidence and skill in these exciting boats.
Our training programs are led by a team of highly experienced trimaran sailors with thousands of offshore miles and decades of combined multihull experience. Few people know these boats as well as the team at 180 Marine—we have been racing, sailing, and refining trimarans for more than 25 years.
A key part of our mission is helping new owners feel completely comfortable with their boats. Every owner receives hands-on, on-the-water training that covers boat systems, handling techniques, and the unique sailing characteristics of high-performance trimarans.
At 180 Marine, our goal is simple: to make trimaran sailing accessible, exciting, and rewarding for as many sailors as possible.
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
These two races sound similar,
but are actually very different.
The Race to Alaska is pure survival—in the best way.
START DATE: June 14, 2026
No motor, no support, 750 cold-water miles from Port Townsend, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska.
First place gets $10,000, cash. Second place gets a set of steak knives. Everyone else gets to find out what they’re made of. Any vessel that’s human-or-wind-powered can enter. The only way to win is to cross open water, navigate through tidal rapids, hug a coastline carved by glaciers, and keep going until you reach Ketchikan.
SEVENTY48 aka 70 miles in 48 hours.
Rules are simple: no motors, no support, and no wind. That’s right. HUMAN POWER ONLY. Pedal, paddle, or row.
We don’t care. It’s up to you.
Mark your calendar, get ready for three days of championship racing on the legendary waters of San Francisco Bay. Join the racing fleet or cruise alongside - all sailors are welcome to experience, spectate, and celebrate trimaran excellence.
Meet Team Hell Yeah!
We’re team “HULL YEAH”, and we’re embarking on the journey of completing
THE Race to Alaska this summer 2026!!
Jason’s Story: Skipper & Owner (Magpie Corsair F27) / Berthoud, Colorado
“I have always been drawn to the outdoors and adventure. There is something almost unexplainable about the deep connection I feel when I am away from the noise and civilization. This has always been where I am my best self. I spent much of my youth mountain biking, backpacking, skiing, kayaking, and just about anything that kept me outdoors.
As a child, I lost my leg to cancer. This experience provided me with a great appreciation for life, however living a full active life on one leg has begun to take its toll on the rest of my body.

“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!

What a freakin’ blast you guys. Last weekend was chock full of nuts and nuggets of insights about the 880 and sailing in fresh breezes on trimarans in general. Thank you so much for organizing this event.”
