Boat Description

The Fusion 15 is Sailing World`s 2003 Boat of the Year in the Performance Dinghy category. It is fast, fun and easy to sail. Safety after a capsize is one area of focus in the Fusion. The sculpted open transom lets water - whether from the rain, spray, or a capsize flush - cleanly out the back. The interior molding in the boat has a floor which slopes aft but remains high enough above the waterline that water always flows out, not in. Also, the Fusion 15 has comfortable stability at the dock and yet inspiring performance under sail. The boat has a modest clipper bow that extends the tack position of the asymmetrical spinnaker about 8` forward of the jib tack. This gives the wind adequate breathing space to fill the sail and makes launching the spinnaker from the foredeck chute as simple as pulling on the halyard. The self tacking jib expands the horizons for the Fusion sailor - it means the boat can be single-handed (because the jib can take care of itself), sailed with an inexperienced crew, or raced with 2 crew with the focus shifted back to tactics and strategy rather than athletics. The small Harken traveler zings across the track as the boat is tacked. The rather unique jib lead terminates on a swivel jam cleat on the mast just below the boomvang. The crew can easily hold the sheet in their hand as they tack and either ease and re-tighten the sail (if they are looking for the best performance) or not do anything (if they want to relax). After hoisting the asymmetrical spinnaker or when heading for the dock at the end of the day, the roller furling jib is spun out of the way by pulling the line mounted on the back of the foredeck. Because of the shape of the interior molding, the centerboard box protrudes only about six inches above floor level. This provides a nice foot rest and is the logical spot for the hiking straps.
