Design

The Seafarer 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of solid laminate fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces 4,600 lb (2,087 kg) and carries 1,775 lb (805 kg) of ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 3.75 ft (1.14 m) with the standard keel and 2.58 ft (0.79 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. [1] [3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor or optionally with an inboard Japanese Yanmar 1GM diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. [1] [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin around a drop-leaf table. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder, with a two-burner stove to starboard and an ice box and sink to port. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 43 U.S. gallons (160 L; 36 imp gal). [1] [3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.39 kn (11.83 km/h). [3]
