length overall (LOA): 18
make / manufacturer: Ventura
model name / number: Malbec18

The Malbec 18 has been hailed as a modern classic by the sailing press and small boat aficionados alike. Nominated as a Best Boat for 2018 by SAIL Magazine and praised as “charming…fun and responsive” by Cruising World, the Malbec 18 blends performance with comfort, stability, and versatility. It has twice appeared on CBS’ “The Price is Right.”

• Lightweight
• Beach-able cruiser offers a huge six-foot cockpit with seating for six adults, and features a spacious, airy cabin that sleeps a family of four
• Perfect boat for experienced sailors looking to right-size from larger or smaller boats, and its safe, forgiving sailing characteristics make it ideal for newbies, too.
• As a spritely performer, the Malbec 18 would make a superb one-design club racer.
• As a first family boat, it’s easy to handle for the youngest hands.
• A great camping boat for some fun extended cruises.

Created by a leading marine architect and the former manufacturer of the wildly-popular West Wight Potter and Voyager 20, the Malbec 18 hull design features hard chines for great aquadynamics at heel, and semi-planning at higher speeds. The most experienced sailors will appreciate its excellent pointing ability, and zippy off-the-wind performance.

Technically this boat is not a Keelboat but a Sport Boat like a Catalina 22, etc.
