Innovative Features of the Fusion 15

An open transom makes recovering from a capsize far easier than in a traditional dinghy. When righted, the boat is dry – no bailing! Slide through the stern, only inches above the water and where the boat is most stable. Easy! (And safer.)

The self-tacking, easy-furling jib means you can 1) single-hand with confidence 2) sail safely with a total beginner 3) kick back with another hotshot like yourself 4) get your head out of the boat and think tactics. The chute aft of the furler is integral to what has been called the easiest spinnaker launching system ever. Pull, it's up and you've got all the speed and fun spinnakers deliver. Pull, no panic! – it's down. It's that easy.

A low centreboard trunk makes it easy to cross the boat, so tacking's fun for everyone. And the low trunk is shaped for hiking straps and bracing yourself comfortably. Just another example of the forethought that went into this boat. Halyard bags, small item stowage – authoritative Sailing World said "Steve Killing, the Canadian designer, has put a great deal of energy into getting the Fusion 15 just right."
