Used Phoenix 18 Sailboats for Sale

The Phoenix 18 is a nimble and accessible recreational catamaran, distinguished by its origins steeped in a narrative of rebirth. Designed in 1964 by the collaborative talents of Dick Gibbs and Rod Macalpine-Downie, this 18-foot sailing dinghy earned its evocative name as the inaugural model to emerge following the devastating fire that razed the original Gibbs Boat Company in the United States. While initially built by Gibbs Boat Company and MFG Boat Company in the U.S., the Phoenix 18 also found a significant Canadian home with Skene Boats Ltd., contributing to its widespread availability and appeal as a versatile small catamaran.
