Boat: Tartan 30 & Columbia 26 | , so I can compare. The C26M2 is a heavy boat for it's length. We're talking 5900 lb , with 2500 of those lbs just in the . This makes for a very stable and boat. Combine that with the high freeboard, and you've got a boat that stays dry in nasty conditions and doesn't heel too much. So as a safe, comfortable cruiser capable of whatever you throw at it in terms of and waves, it's excellent. As neer as I can tell, the and are pretty bulletproof. I've smacked some obstacles pretty hard at speed, without so much as a blemish. The and standing appear to be quite stout in comparison to other similar boats. These boats were made with two rigging options: standard and . The has two sets of shrouds leading to the base of the spreaders instead of one, and also adds a car track on the and some other goodies. Mine's the standard, but if the one your looking at has the racing rigging that's a big bonus. Sail area is slightly on the small side compared to other boats of the same size that are more geared to performance. Fairly small main with large masthead . So ... you're saying "heavy, high freeboard, small sail area, this thing must sail like a PIG right?". Here's the wierd thing ... NO! Ol' Bill Tripp did something right when he designed this . I mine regularly, and it seems to hold it's own nicely against the Thunderbirds, J24's, SJ28's etc. It seems to have a slippery hull or something, because once it get's it's momentum up, I'm passing those other boats on a reach and downwind (she SCREAMS downwind either with a or wing & wing with a poled out genny). But, it doesn't point real well, and on tacks it loses all momentum and takes a while to accelerate again. But once you learn the tricks of how to take advantage of it's strengths, she's a great performer. I also do a lot of cruising with other boats, and it's great to be able to keep up with the rest of the fleet, even the big boys. Many other boats this size get left behind on such outings. There are some negatives on this boat. I don't like the free hung spade hanging way back there. It seems delicate. When I bought mine, it had a severe problem, which I found out was a bent shaft. I fixed that and now it perfectly balanced, but I can see how a grounding or hitting something from the rear could easily bend that rudder. I'd prefer a skeg or hung rudder. But ... I gotta say that old tub does turn on a dime! These were mass produced, cheaply built boats, and that's reflected in the fit and finish. You won't find nice woodwork or signs of craftsmanship. But if you don't mind plain, the is reasonably roomy and comfortable for a 26 footer. There are a LOT of C26's out there, partly because so many were built, and partly because they were built like so a high proportion are still floating. This means they can be had real , sometimes even free if you don't mind putting serious grease into an abandoned marina derelict. $4500 may be a reasonable if the one you're looking at is in real good shape, although if you're willing to wait and look around you might be able to do better. In my opinion, these boats are one of the most undervalued bargains out there. I'm sure I could go on and on, but PM me if you have any more questions about my experience with my C26M2. Good luck! |

and sail fairly well too. The rudder is exposed and I have heard of one problem with the rudder shaft badly corroded. There is a 30 up here with good inboard for $6k, so dont pay too much for a 26! - Elmore Leonard | |

almost never gets wet. The top sits roughly 4.5 feet above the waterline. The boat is heavy and like a tank, very forgiving. It absolutely does just scream downwind with just a up (I did 7.8 kts in a 20+ kt with 2-3 foot following seas). It points upwind quite well, sharpest upwind I've been is 15 degrees off the wind and we were moving along pretty well, we porpised the dingy we were going so fast on that tack in light winds. The is pretty roomy, it can sleep 2 couples and a . The doubles are a bit small for two if you arent cuddle buddies, when I bring my buddies out it sleeps 3. Construction of the lower hull is solid, the fibreglass is about an inch thick down there. The downsides I've noticed: Motoring in waves of any size is horrible, it hobby horses up and down. Under sail however, this thing just pounds through them. With the high freeboard again, under , it will catch the wind and point you off the wind and can be difficult to steer under . The well is in a terrible place in the , on my boat the whole well has been sealed shut and a transom mount placed on the back, in the it would be loud, smelly, and you'd end up kicking it all the time. On the transom its much better, although combined with the hobby horsing means a lot of cantilevering the prop out of the when motoring in waves, something that the designers tried to fix with the well in the cockpit I guess. When I say it sails like a tank, I mean it. I went out with a few inexperienced guys this past weekend and the that called for 10-15 kt winds turned out to be 20-30 gust 50. Closehauled under the 20-30 kt prevailing with a 150 we were heeled only at 15-20 degrees. The gusts blew us to 40-50 degree heel within a second, but that wasnt really the boat's fault; a 150 genoa isnt designed for 50 kt winds, and with my limited experience and a totally green crew swapping sails was not an option at all. When you get your crew working smoothly you wont lose much speed on your tacks and jibes, but if your crew is sloppy on the tacks and gybes as wrist mentions you will lose almost all of your speed. If you plan your and tacks well however you can make some pretty good time in the boat, and if the inside configuration is stock and unmodified there are two extra compartments that can hold so you can put extra ice in them and store cold, one in the v-berth and one underneath the . The does a pretty good job of keeping your cold with ice. Lots of elsewhere on the boat. We keep a months worth of food, and crabbing , , clothes, tons of extra lifejackets, blankets, pillows, four extra sails, dishes, tools, downriggers and a whole host of other crap on the boat and there's still room for 50 , 30 bottles of water, four bottles of and 15 2-litre bottles of pop and she isnt even full, with the compartments closed there is nothing lying loose anywhere. Hopefully you got the boat and are living it up aboard by now! | |

Boat: 1976 Sabre 28-2 | and boat would round up. No single handing that boat without an auto pilot. Boat pounded badly and canned going to in short period steep waves of the channels. canning busted the tabbing loose on the forward and amidships bulkheads after a couple of trips to Lahaina from HNL. Couldn't recommend any serious big ocean sailing without reinforcing the hull and a lot better bonding of the bulkheads to the hull. Mine was a '79 and came with a roller reefing and boom. Terrible system. Be sure the main has been converted to slab reefing. You'll be reefing often or just not using the main. volume was tremendous for a 26' boat so it was great for a semi in the tropics. Poor but lots of room which was fine for me back then. My boat was built when sillycone first became popular. Factory used sillycone to everything and it leaked like a sieve. Spent my two years of removing every piece of and fittings on the boat and rebidding with LifeCaulk. were especially obnoxious on the boat because there is no and any water getting below sloshes all over the place. Usually ended up with water over the floorboards on channel passages. The motor in the well worked fine even with serious waves. Powered most of the way home from Molokai across the Molokai Channel without drowning the motor like a transom mounted would have. Sailed the hell out of the boat, spent every weekend out sailing and took it to every island but the Big Island when I took leave. I really enjoyed the sailing and the experience was tremendous. Would never buy another one, though. |

decades later. Bulkheads are strong as hell, the boat has been sailed in squamish where 25+ kt winds are the norm rather than the exception. The waves dont really get much worse than 3-4 ft chop, maybe where you were at it was bigger. I often sail it with just the , people keep telling me how dangerous that is and telling me of crazy lee helm but like you say it wants to point into the wind so i find it is strangely balanced with just a 150 genoa with the cars pulled all the way back. Even in 20-30 with gusts of 50 ive never experienced what you describe with the rudder though. I read that they made tons and tons of mk 2's and over time the molds got worn out, they then took off the waffle no slip pattern and made some other changes to the to make it simpler and changed the boat model to a columbia 26 k. Ive seen one as there is one parked in the slip opposite to me, it certainly doesnt look to be the same quality as my boat. Maybe the later 26 mk 2's suffered from problems with worn out molds. | |

Prior to 1958, the last defense of the America's Cup had been in 1937, by the J-Class yacht Ranger, owned by Harold S. "Mike" Vanderbilt.The J-Class rules prescribing a vessel of some 120 feet in length were promoted by Vanderbilt and others for the defense planned for 1958, but economic concerns and the desire among aspiring competitors to employ smaller dual-purpose yachts won the day.
