Fleet 15 is intended to support
the growth of the Buccaneer 18 sailboat in Wisconsin.
The boat was originally built by the Chrysler
Corporation in the late 1960s, and continues to be
produced today by Nickel's Boatworks.
The buccaneer 18
is a One design boat that is 18 feet long. The boat is
an excellent racing boat, but also has a large cockpit
so there is enough room to take 6 adults out day
sailing.
Fleet 15
includes the Buccaneer sailors of Wisconsin, Eastern
Minnesota, and the UP of Michigan. Our Fleet initially
started in the 1970s in Peauwaukee, WI, and has been
reborn this year. Listed in this site are racing events,
contact, and links to sites to help with enhancement,
and repair of older boats.
The buccaneer 18
is a fun, and agile boat to sail. The events listed are
nothing but fun, and well organized racing events. The
atmosphere at the racing events is relaxed, and the
people involved are a great asset for new racers to
learn the art.
Fleet 15
Membership requires membership in the
National Buccaneer 18 Class
Association, and then
