boat specification

The Seaview Mermaid is a 26-foot half-open keelboat, displacing 1.5 tonnes with a bermudan rig and suitable for 2 to 4 crew.  She has a mainsail which can be reefed in stronger winds. Two headsails are carried – a jib and a genoa - and spinnakers add excitement when sailing downwind.

Buoyancy built into the hulls makes the boats inherently safe. Personal buoyancy aids are on offer from Sea View Yacht Club and the wearing of suitable personal buoyancy is required.

“ I’ve greatly enjoyed sailing Seaview Mermaids in the Club’s annual ISAF match-racing event and can recommend the boats for the excellent close racing that they offer to all sailors. Hood are delighted to have been chosen to supply new sails for the boats for the 2009 season ”
