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

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

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 39000NaN0 and carries 15000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 4.3feet 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 6.21kn.[2]
