This exciting little dinghy designed in 2000 was for club racing or just having a good time. Easy to sail, fast and great to look at. To quote Chuck Allen at Sailing World: "Meade Gougeon says the Fusion 15 is the easiest spinnaker launching system of any dinghy he's sailed. And I'd have to agree...sailing the boat was a ball. It was easy to find the groove upwind, and once you got there it was easy enough to stay in it." Unfortunately, after a run of 100 boats, the Fusion 15 is now out of production.
