The Sanibel 18 is an American trailerable sailboat, that was designed by Charles Ludwig, first built in 1982 and named for the Floridian town and island. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

The boat was built by a series of different builders under several different model names in the United States, and all are now out of production. [1] [4]

Design

Sanibel 18

The series are all small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They have fractional sloop rigs, transom-hung rudders and retractable centerboards. They are normally fitted with a small 2 to 5 hp (1 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [2] [4]

The design has sleeping accommodation for three people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow and a straight settee in the main cabin. Cabin headroom is 54 in (137 cm). [4]

Variants

Skipper's Mate 17
This model was introduced in 1982 and was built by Southern Sails until 1984. It has a length overall of 17.17 ft (5.2 m), a waterline length of 15.00 ft (4.6 m), displaces 1,200 lb (544 kg) and carries 250 lb (113 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the centerboard down and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it up. The boat has a hull speed of 5.19 kn (9.61 km/h). [4] [5] [6]
Commodore 17

It has a length overall of 17.17 ft (5.2 m), a waterline length of 15.00 ft (4.6 m), displaces 1,200 lb (544 kg) and carries 250 lb (113 kg) of ballast.

Sanibel 17 and 18
The Sanibel 17 was introduced in 1985 and was built by Captiva Yachts and later by International Marine. It was renamed the Sanibel 18 in 1986; the cockpit seat were raised to add knee room in the cabin berths and three raised pads were added to the cabin top for a single teak rail. The cabin top rail is the easiest way to identify a 17 versus 18. A total of 169 examples were completed between 1985 and 1988. It has a length overall of 17.88 ft (5.4 m), a waterline length of 15.06 ft (4.6 m), displaces 1,369 lb (621 kg) and carries 450 lb (204 kg) of ballast.

Snug Harbor 18
This model was introduced in 1990 and was built by Leisure-Time Fiberglass Products, although very few were built. The molds were made by using an existing Sanibel 18 boat hull as a fiberglass mold plug. It has a length overall of 17.83 ft (5.4 m), a waterline length of 15.00 ft (4.6 m), displaces 1,300 lb (590 kg) and carries 400 lb (181 kg) of ballast.
