Description

The Colgate 26 provides stability and exceptional sailing performance in both light air and heavy winds. She feels and acts like a much larger boat. She's not easily tossed around by waves, throwing the crew off balance. Her 2600 lb. weight renders a sturdy boat that maintains competitive speed. Even the 3'6" shoal draft model maintains stability and performance, which are most important when designing a boat that won't scare beginners yet challenges racers. Not only does this competitive racer win PHRF competitions nationwide, below-deck storage and accommodations make the C26 a comfortable daysailer and weekender. The self-bailing cockpit is spacious and secure with plenty of comfortable seating for the whole family, plus friends. Foam-filled compartments in the hull make it virtually unsinkable, even if holed. Rigid stainless steel cockpit railings, something not found on boats of this size, provide real security when moving around the boat. Quite simply, the Colgate 26 is the safest daysailer available. Entire fleets of Colgate 26s were purchased by the U. S. Naval Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Maine Maritime Academy and Eckerd College for sail training courses. Easy to maintain, a pleasure to look at and great fun to sail, The Colgate 26 combines excellent performance with safety and durability at an affordable price.
