Nope, A Johnson 18 is not an outboard (well at least not in my case). We have his and hers boats in this household, as my wife dispises the catamaran. Too fast, too dangerous, too scary. Bah!

Anyways, I have always liked the Johnson 18 so I picked one up. Wonderful little boat. It does not have a monsterous sail plan but it does carry a main, jib and assymetrical spinnaker. It's an absolute blast off the wind and suits my wife much better than the Nacra. It's no catamaran, but it shines brightly in it's own way.
