Seller's Description
This is a perfect boat for families. It’s a masthead sloop, with a long shaft 9.8 hp outboard engine. It’s solid, and it sleeps 4 adults (or 2 adults and 3 children).
It has a large fold-down table in the cabin. Forward of the main cabin is a porta-potty head, then the V-berth with a divider between the berth and head.
Because there’s no inboard engine, there’s ample space aft of the main cabin (which is under the cockpit). There’s an aft berth that can sleep an adult, or be used as storage. I’ve seen 32’ boats with inboard engines that don’t have any more interior space than this 26’ boat.
Because the systems are simple no inboard engine, no smelly head and black water lines you won’t spend countless hours on maintenance.
The outboard is 9.8 hp Evinrude (model E10TEL 4AA) purchased in 2014. It runs well. I replaced the rudder and tiller around 2012 with a brand new custom ones from ruddercraft.com. Includes a brand new Spade anchor that digs through all weeds and holds incredibly well.
See the full specs for the boat on SailboatData.com.
This has been a fantastic boat for my family and me. We’ve done multi-day trips all over the lake, and she has always served us well! I haven’t used enough lately, though, so it’s time to sell.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
7.9 kn
Classic: 6.36 kn
Hull Speed
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.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.9
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
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.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
44.9
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
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.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
170.3
100-200: light
Displacement / Length Ratio
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.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
15.9
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
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.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
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.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
Most 26s were outboard-powered, though an inboard Yanmar diesel was an option.
