The Cape Cod Mercury 15, also called the Mercury Sloop and just the Mercury, is an American trailerable sailboat and sailing dinghy, that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and first built in 1940.[1][2][3][4][5]
The design is sometimes confused with the unrelated Ernest Nunes 1939 Mercury 18 design.[1][6]
