The Outlaw 26 is an American sailboat that was designed by Philip Rhodes as a cruiser and first built in 1965.[1] [2] [3]

Production

The design was built by O'Day Corp. in the United States between 1965 and 1968, with 80 examples completed.[1] [3]

After production had been completed the molds for the Outlaw 26 design were sold to Northern Yachts of Ajax, Ontario, Canada. The design was developed into the Northern 25 in 1970, with the addition of a fin keel and a taller cabin.[4]

Design

The Outlaw 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a raised transom, a keel- mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 50500NaN0 and carries 23000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 4.25feet with the standard keel fitted.[1] [3]

A tall rig version was available, with a mast about 2feet higher than standard for locations with lighter average winds.[1] [3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor in a transom well, for docking and maneuvering.[1] [3]

The design has a hull speed of 5.842NaN2.[3] [5] [6]
