Careel 18

The Compass Careel 18 is an 18 ft long trailer sailer manufactured in Australia by David Rose Yachts. The Careel 18 was originally built in 1968 by John Duncanson as a Duncanson 18, with David Rose taking over manufacturing and renaming the boats the Careel 18. It came out at a time when there was a boom in trailer sailers, but unlike many of its contemporaries, it still remains popular today. The boat was produced in three versions; Mk I (900kg), Mk II (1100kg) and Mk III (1200kg) with successive design changes including additional ballast and increases to deck and cabin height.
