The Sea Spray 15 is a storied lightweight beach catamaran that emerged as a formidable competitor during the multihull boom of the late 1960s and 1970s. Designed by Joe Thompson, the vessel was engineered to prioritize speed, simplicity, and ease of transport. While primarily manufactured by GenMar in Canada, the design saw various licensed production runs across North America, eventually fostering a dedicated racing community. Unlike many of its contemporaries that relied on daggerboards for upwind performance, the Sea Spray 15 utilizes a deep Vhull design, which provides sufficient lateral resistance while simplifying the beaching process.
