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