The Herreshoff H-26 is an American sailboat that was designed by Gordon Goodwin, Sidney Herreshoff and Halsey Chase Herreshoff as a cruiser.[1] [2] [3]
The H-26 is a cruising development of the 1914 Herreshoff H-12 1/2 and is an enlarged version of the 1959 Goldeneye, both Nathaniel G. Herreshoff designs.[1] [2]
The design was built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding in the United States, but it is now out of production. The company indicates that it still has the molds and would consider putting the design back into production, if a sufficient number were ordered.[1] [2]

It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a spooned plumb stem, a raised transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by either a wheel or a tiller and a fixed long keel.
