Seascape 18 is a 18 ′ 0 ″ / 5.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Samuel Manuard and built by Seascape starting in 2008.
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
In 2018 Beneteau purchased a controlling stake in the Slovenian builder Seascape, bringing all Seascape models into the fold of its First range.

How’s this for convenience? I get the word from SAIL HQ that I should look into test-sailing the Seascape 18 from Slovenia , recently revealed on these shores, and it turns out the new U.S. rep is based in Kittery, Maine, mere footsteps from my home. Even better, on arriving at the anointed moment last Friday at Pepperell Cove, where said rep, Toralf Strand, a tall gangly Norwegian fellow, has assembled both a Seascape 27 and 18 for test-sailing by prospective buyers and this one journalist, it turns out I’ll be sailing with Andraž Mihelin (see photo up top), one of the masterminds behind the whole Seascape concept.
Which is as follows: take the current hot monohull-racing hull-form–fine plumb bow, wide hindquarters, plus hard-chined topsides–and insert one super-simplified performance rig with simplified controls so that mere mortals can have fun knocking around and sailing fast without getting the pants scared off them.
Seascape, a new company formed by two hot-shot Mini-Transat racers (that would be Andraž and his buddy Kristian Hajnšek), introduced the 18 just over five years ago in Europe and already they’ve sold well over 300 boats and have fostered a burgeoning one-design racing scene. The 27 followed last year and looks to be just as successful. (You may recall I sailed the 27 last fall after the Annapolis show; you can read my review in the current print edition of SAIL .)
On the dock at Kittery. Note the aggressive hull form, a Volvo boat in miniature. Inside the cuddy cabin there’s a full-length double berth (plus a simple winch for controlling the centerboard). Note, too, the simple mainsheet controls: no traveler, just blocks and a bridle
Andraž loads the asymmetric spinnaker into its deck sock. It flies, of course, from the end of that long retractable bowsprit
Sailing with Andraž is like getting the gospel straight from the prophet’s mouth. He is alive with enthusiasm not only for the boats he builds, but for a whole new approach to having fun on sailboats that go fast.
“The idea behind Seascape,” he explains to me as we shoot away from the town dock in Kittery, “is to have 80 percent of the fun of sailing a Mini with 20 percent of the work.”
Convenience-wise, the boat is just that. The tubular carbon-fiber mast, which weighs just 30 pounds, is supported by a fractional headstay and two straight shrouds with no backstay or spreaders. Underwater foils consist of an easy-to-control centerboard (or swing keel, if you prefer) and two retractable rudders in cassettes. The whole boat weighs just a tad over 1,000 pounds, and it takes just a little over 20 minutes to get it from a trailer into the water fully rigged.
Andraž on the helm. He truly is a man with a mission
And yes, it is fun to sail. We’re having a blast cruising around off the mouth of the Piscataqua River while Andraž fills my head with his vision of what he wants to do with these boats. Races where you don’t call the course until you see what the conditions are, so you can be sure of making it interesting. Round-the-island time-trial competitions where skippers pick their start times. Global online “best game” competitions where skippers on boats with transponders post and compare their best 500-meter speed runs. These are all things he is already doing, or plans to do in the future.
Plus, of course, there is cruising, and he regales me with the tale of a young Austrian couple who sailed their Seascape 18 down the Danube River from Vienna all the way to the Black Sea, out the Dardanelles, through the Greek archipelago, and up to the top of the Adriatic, from whence they trailered it home to Vienna and thus completed a circumnavigation of southeastern Europe.
Cruising mode. You can easily beach the boat, plus there’s a simple tent you can pitch over the cockpit
Racing mode. More fun than humans should be allowed to have
Meanwhile, we’re seeing ideal test conditions. A building breeze that runs the gamut from 8 to 20 knots in gusts. We’re pulling the A-sail up and down–no fuss, no muss–in and out of its deck sock with its continuous halyard. Hitting over 10 knots on a hot reach. Cutting apparent wind angles well inside 25 degrees while sailing closehauled to weather. And when the gusts come through the top of the big square-headed main falls away, the mast bends a little in the right direction, and everything stays under control.
No panic. No near broaches. Nothing but the good stuff.
I’m thinking to myself: I like this guy. I believe in him. And I certainly like this boat.
Can’t wait to write it up for the comic.
looks great for club racing
That looks like fun! Can the rudders withstand a hard beaching?
@Tom: You pull the rudders up. They are fully retractable. I don’t think they’ll stand up to a hard grounding when they’re down.

Seascape 18's rig and sails, seascape 18's performances, seascape 18's auxiliary engine, seascape 18's accommodations and layout.
Boat Review Date: February 2012 Author: Mike Brown Overview
In the heyday of trailer sailers, 30 and more years ago, cheapness and internal room with a few exceptions took priority over high quality and sailing ability. In particular, a minimal cockpit for a complement of say four in a tapered stern ensured a tail-dragging boat. The Seascape 18, a modern take on the concept, has the quality and ability, none of the drag, yet still at a modest price.
The Seascape actually has more in common with the current crop of sports boats than with the old trailer sailers, and, although there is nothing complicated about the rig, is capable of spirited performance. It certainly has the equipment for it: pentex working sails, carbon fibre spars, twin rudders, Ronstan roller bearing blocks, but with the cruising comfort of a furling headsail. At the same time, it really is possible to sleep on board. The fore cabin has a pair of bunks for tall people; there are no other traces of luxury, but the set-up is good enough for the occasional overnight pulled up on a beach.
Unlike a sports boat, the Seascape has a swing keel rather than a dagger board. Aside from the possible drag of the slot in the bottom there is no real difference in effectiveness; the keel, with its 125kg of ballast, is high aspect and long: lowering it increases draught from 0.15m to 1.3m. And, of course, if it hits the bottom there is no sudden stop.
Standing rigging is as simple as it could be: forestay and single shrouds with no spreaders, supporting a mast whose light weight makes it easy to step. The reefing bowsprit is also in carbon fibre – standard equipment includes a 32sqm gennaker. The bowsprit’s forward fitting carries a hoop for the mouth of a fabric launching chute. The whole system sits on deck, preventing water intruding into the cabin.
The cockpit comprises most of the boat, and there are few obstructions in it. The natural seating position is on the coaming, supplementing the ballast keel, and hiking straps are fitted to give extra leverage to the self-propelled ballast. But as is almost inevitable for sailing reviews, wind was light and getting lighter, so the straps were not needed.
What the light wind did show was what an easily driven craft the Seascape is. With gusts varying between three and six knots the average trailer sailer would have hovered between stationary and bare steerage way. The Seascape showed perceptible acceleration, and had the crew of three tuning the mainsheet and adjusting weight fore and aft. I want to be on board in 15 to 20 knots.
The hull form is reminiscent of a 49er, with large planing areas aft and a minimum resistance bow. The significant difference is the ballasted centerboard that removes the need for trapeze athletics. It struck me that this could be the boat for the owner, a decade or two along, who used to sail something like a Hobie 18 on the ocean. I found I was describing myself, the sort of owner who might cruise the coast inshore, or sail out to Garden Island on the easterly and return on the sea breeze.
It could be a club racing boat or a powerboat substitute. It does not have to be a purist’s yacht that stops when the wind does; an optional bracket takes an outboard motor. This is such an easily driven boat that the smallest of motors would do the job.
The price for this European yacht of the year in 2010 (it is built in Slovenia) is AUD $33,000, to which you need to add the price of a trailer. It works out at a lot of fun per dollar.

Seascape 18 for sale, lying Dartmouth Devon. The Seascape 18 is a fast one-design planing sport boat; exiting but safe and easy to sail, this example is from 2010 the same year she was awarded ‘European Yacht of the Year'. You may recognise her as the new Beneteau First 18 SE. This example comes on a trailer and has neve been antifouled having been stored on a Versadoc when on the water, which is available by separate negotiation.
The Seascape 18 is a fast one-design planing sport boat; exciting but safe and easy to sail. The rig is a 7/8 sloop with a square-topped main. The hull is sandwich foam fibreglass polyester and as such is unsinkable. The spars are all carbon fibre, including the bowsprit which launches and retracts simply with the spinnaker from a deck sock.
The Seascape 18 was a radical new design from Slovenia launched in 2008 and continued to be sold under this name until 2018, being awarded ‘European Yacht of the Year’ in 2010. More recently the identical one-design specification has been re-branded as the Beneteau First 18 SE. It is widely raced and cruised across Europe and the UK.
The Seascape readily planes at over 10 knots, driven downwind by its large asymmetric spinnaker and is as nimble as a dinghy. The jib is quickly deployed on a furler. Despite its racing credentials and mini-Transat long-distance heritage, the Seascape will double as a fun family weekend camping/ cruiser, sometimes with a tent over the cockpit. Stability offshore in a strong breeze comes from the very wide beam and heavily ballasted lifting keel.
Below deck there are two full length berths. With the fully lifting keel and two liftable transom-hung rudders, shallow waters are easily navigable and indeed the boat can be brought up on to the beach. There is a huge cockpit accommodating up to four crew although it is normally raced with two or three and can even be single-handed.
It is easy to trail, rig and launch, has low running costs and is easy to maintain.
This boat, ‘Nikita’ has been successfully raced at Dartmouth Regattas and won the French GPEN Open Championship in 2019. It has also been a great boat to train aspiring teenagers moving up from dinghies on inland waters to offshore racing.
The boat comes with a roller trailer that recently had a new modern aluminium axle and suspension fitted, that has not been in sea water – she is easily hoisted in and out from either the eye on the centreboard casing or in slings.
‘Nikita’ is fully equipped to the one-design racing specification. Extras include a 2 hp 2-stroke outboard, jib forestay cover, rudder bag, mast cover for towing, Windex, anchor, warps, fenders bucket and paddle to class requirements.
‘Nikita’ has two full sets of sails: a fairly well-used ‘training’ set and the racing set used for only regattas.
