Mercury 18
11 / 22 - score 42%
The Mercury 18 is a 18.0ft masthead sloop designed by Ernest Nunes and built in fiberglass by Schock W.D. since 1939.
The Mercury 18 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
