CH Marine—official dealers of Fusion Sailboats UK—have announced the arrival of their first order, introducing this sailboat brand into the Irish market.

Fusion offers a ground-breaking, ultra-modern, one boat solution for families and sailing centres and has gained huge popularity in the UK, becoming the go-to boat for clubs and training centres. A similar interest is expected in Ireland because of its impressive specs.

The high-quality HDPE roto moulded hull has many interesting and well thought out design features to make this boat a leader for training and sail ability. One clever feature allows the boats to stack three high on one trolley, saving space in the boat park or in winter storage.

The dinghy is available in four different rigs: Fusion with standard mainsail, Fusion Duo with standard mainsail, gib and hardware, Fusion Pro with Pro mainsail and gib, and the Fusion Pro Gen with Pro mainsail, gib and gennaker kit.

This boat has the flexibility to suit the main aspects of dinghy sailing from beginner to advanced level.

At an entry-level price point of under €4,000, the Fusion looks set to be a winner.

Ireland's Sailor of the Year Awards

Created in 1996, the Afloat Sailor of the Year Awards represent all that is praiseworthy, innovative and groundbreaking in the Irish sailing scene.

Since it began 25 years ago, the awards have recognised over 500 monthly award winners in the pages of Ireland's sailing magazine Afloat, and these have been made to both amateur and professional sailors. The first-ever Sailor of the Year was dinghy sailor Mark Lyttle, a race winner at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

And since then it's gone on to read like a who's who of Irish sailing.

The national award is specially designed to salute the achievements of Ireland's sailing's elite. After two decades the awards has developed into a premier awards ceremony for water sports.

The overall national award will be announced each January to the person who, in the judges' opinion, achieved the most notable results in, or made the most significant contribution to, Irish sailing in the previous year.
