Ideal 18 PERFORMANCE
Built by Ontario Yachts, a premier builder of
small fiberglass
sailboats, top quality construction methods and equipment are used.
Strict principles of one-design racing do not
permit hull
or keel fairing or most other modifications.
The boat manuevers like a dinghy and has a
large,
powerful
mailsail (108 sq. ft.).
The Ideal 18 Class Association is registered
with
the US
Sailing Association and the Canadian Yachting Association as a
one-design
racing sailboat fleet.
