The Classic 26 is an American sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner as a cruiser and first built in 1991.[1][2][3][4]
Production
[edit]The design was built by Classic Yachts in Chanute, Kansas, United States, starting in 1991. A total of 41 boats were completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6]
The Classic 26 is a development of the Laguna 26 and the similar Windrose 26 and was built from the same hull molds acquired by Classic after Laguna Yachts went out of business.[1][2][7][8][9][10]
Design
[edit]The Classic 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 3,900 lb (1,769 kg) and carries 1,500 lb (680 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 4.30 ft (1.31 m) with the standard keel and is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.21 kn (11.50 km/h).[2]
