If you look through my photos you will find a couple of pics from inside that show the diesel. What it doesn't show is how much room is taken up by the engine enclosure when it is in place. I removed my galley and re-located it forward on the port side against the bulkhead. I did that to be able to ...

I see nobody is jumping on that one!!! I could measure mine, but I don't use the boom as I quickly got tired of stripping it every time I needed to step the mast. That said, the only difference in length would be the overall as the lower harness is the critical one. My raising rig is in the back of ...

you'll still need some hardener for the resin to 'go off' (harden). Pre-treating with resin on older wood that is porous and then applying resin mixed with hardener is a common way to strengthen wood that has lost its' strength due to weathering. My tiller was a basket case when I got the boat so I ...

these boats really can sail!!
I haven't been able to get much sailing time on my 26 since buying it in '09, the 5 day cruise last fall saw no wind interrupted by one day of 'hang on and hope' winds. Today was different though. Good breeze out of the south (flat water) and another boat to sail against made me appreciate these boa...

most cost effective might be a Beta (marineized Kubota)and saildrive unit. http://soundmarinediesel.com/aboutbetamarine.html . Installation is pretty straightforward using the fibreglass engine bed. Just shape the bed to the profile of the hull and glass it in. As far as the OEM setup it used a Volv...

I placed my batteries (one port, one starboard) in those lockers ('under the seats' in my parlance!). No boxes, I just made plywood platforms to keep them level. I had no problem removing my ladder, required two of us though, as I only have two arms! Some fasteners broke off but replaced all with st...

'77 26 on ebay!
looks like it's done more sitting than sailing! interior doesn't look half bad, not much evidence of leaks. looks like something is living in the starboard coaming storage!

You won't find any foam in the 26. Hondas are easy to work on, I tore down an 8h.p. I used to have to replace the rings. The only problem is with some of the bolts they use - salt eats them up bad! Too bad someone like Honda would use such low quality bolts! The thermostat on mine was trashed (from ...

chrysler 26 on e-bay
here's one for those looking for a 26. pretty dirty, some glass work needed, very original, rigged with a furler of some description (furlex?),trailer looks marginal, price is right, what do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/One-biggest-thats-legal-tow-swing-keel-N-R-/120639253286?pt=Sailboa...

if you say it's sound you must be satisfied it hasn't had standing water in it and the structure hasn't leaked weakening the core. how is the little bilge area at the rear of the keel trunk for water? On my '78 the areas that were soft were the companionway (because of the teak strips), the cockpit ...
