About the Fusion 15

With limited technical specifications available in current databases, the Fusion 15 represents one of the lesser-documented designs in the small sailboat category. This 15-foot sailboat appears to fall into the compact recreational sailing segment, likely designed for day sailing and light coastal adventures. Based on its size classification, the Fusion 15 would be well-suited for protected waters, small lakes, and nearshore coastal sailing. Boats in this length range typically prioritize ease of handling and trailer ability, making them attractive options for sailors seeking a manageable vessel that can be easily transported and launched from various locations. The compact dimensions suggest this design focuses on simplicity and accessibility rather than extended cruising capabilities. Such boats often appeal to new sailors learning the fundamentals, experienced sailors wanting a low-maintenance weekend boat, or those with storage and budget constraints. Without comprehensive specifications readily available, potential buyers would benefit from contacting dealers or previous owners to gather detailed information about construction materials, sail configuration, and overall build quality. The limited documentation may reflect either a smaller production run or regional distribution, which could impact parts availability and resale considerations for prospective purchasers.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
