The US Yachts US 18 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by G. William McVay and adapted by Bayliner as a day sailer and first built in 1980.[1][2][3][4]

The US 18 is a Bayliner development of McVay's 1964 sailing dinghy design, the Mouette 19 and is similar to the Buccaneer 180.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by US Yachts in the United States, starting in 1980, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6]

Design

The US 18 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel. It displaces 525 lb (238 kg) and has a small cuddy cabin.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 3.20 ft (0.98 m) with the keel extended and 8 in (20 cm) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.29 kn (9.80 km/h).[2]
