The Fusion 15 And Your Sailing School
The Fusion 15 was created as both a one-design that would revitalize weeknight race courses and as a twenty-first century trainer that would truly excite both youth and adults, giving them an incentive to become involved – and a way to stay involved.
As a trainer, the Fusion 15 is a superb all-round teaching platform. It excites kids, and for racing-oriented programs it's a natural step up the performance ladder toward all-out racers, not to mention an appealing racer in its own right. And for adults, it offers a meaningful alternative to learning to sail in a keelboat, which are both more expensive and less effective in conveying the nuances of sailing.
Adults who learn to sail in a Fusion 15 are also motivated to keep sailing them after graduating. That means a healthy new fleet in the drysail area, whether in boats that are privately owned or held in a community fleet by the club for use on a time-share basis. Fusions purchased for sail-training instruction can do double-duty in the evening and on weekends as a time-share boat for members, putting more people on the race course, and inside the clubhouse using its facilities. It's already happening at Midland Bay Sailing Club, and it could start happening at your club.
