Sanderling 18
The Sanderling 18, also called the 18' Sanderling, Marshall Sanderling and just the Sanderling, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Breckenridge Marshall as a daysailer and cruiser and first built in 1962. It is named for the shore bird.
The Sanderling 18 is a development of a 1941 Pop Arnold catboat design.
The design was the first boat produced by Marshall Marine Corporation in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, United States. It has been in continuous production since 1962 and remains in production.
The Sanderling 18 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a gaff-rigged catboat with a wide beam, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung "barn-door" rudder controlled by a tiller and an unballasted retractable centerboard. Typical of catboats, there is no keel, but there is a substantial skeg, to which the bottom of the rudder is mounted.
The design is built in daysailor and cuddy cabin versions. The latter has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the cabin around a drop-leaf table. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder. The galley may be equipped with a stove to port and a counter to starboard. .
The hull is 18 feet long (5.49 m) not including the rudder, and has a beam (width) of 8.5 feet (2.6m)
The boat displaces 2,200 lb (998 kg) and carries 500 lb (227 kg) of lead pig ballast in the bilges. The boat has a draft of 4.33 ft (1.32 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.58 ft (0.48 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
Cabin headroom is 43 in (109 cm)
