About the FUSION 15
Designed by Steve Killing and built by Fusion Sailboats in Ontario, Canada, the Fusion 15 is a compact trailer-sailer produced between 2000 and 2004 with a total build count of 100 hulls. Its lightweight displacement of 290.0 lb and fractional sloop rig prioritize ease of handling and performance over heavy offshore endurance.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day-sailing, trailerable cruising, and single-handers who value high performance and easy transport over long-range bluewater capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 290.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.33, the Fusion 15 is not designed for serious offshore passage-making and is best restricted to protected coastal waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 16 and Microcruiser 16, which share similar trailer-sailer dimensions and roles, though the Fusion 15 distinguishes itself with a more modern fractional rig and lighter displacement.
