Re: Gas tank question
Hello, I have a 1977-C26 and I use an attwood 6 gallon gas tank. It fits in the starboard side of the aft lazarette.

Bilge pump location
Hello Darmah. On my 77 c26 witch I believe is in the stock configuration the bilge pump is located below the access hatch in the aft cabin, and the through hull is right by the sink drain on the port side. Rember to put a big arch in the line on the bulkhead behind the sink so water cannot come in w...

steps you can sto
Hello fello Michigan sailor. If space is what you are after, I wonder if a section of a ladder cut to fit would work for you. A section of ladder would have a thinner crossection and would there by take up less space while in use in position and would definitely take up less space when not in positi...

capsize recovery
I'm wondering if in the excitement of capsizing you are forgetting to release the main sail sheet line. If so, that could cause a repeated capsize. Releasing the main sail sheet line will also make the boat eazyer to right and it also then, shouldn't try to sail away with out you or capsize again. T...

sail selection
It seems to me that if you were only planing to run one sail that the main sail would, or should perform better by its self than a head sail would. Like you were saying the rudder was being over powered, because all of the power was at the front of the boat. The main sail alone would balance the pow...

The car had a four speed manual trany, I don't remember having any trouble at launches then, but now I have a C26. My current truck has a auto trany and is a snap ...

twin rudders
Hi every one. I like the idea of rudders being synchronized with the engine. On my last boat I could steer the engine, and that was vary handy in tight places. I like the rudder design that Hake uses on there Seaward line. Thx. Boaty

Thanks for the post Captinscotte. I agree with you on all points.

The locker is also open to the out sid...

I went out today and opened the main hatch on my boat and got an unpleasant surprise. The original Chrysler tote tank gas tank that came with the boat gave up the ghost some time after we got home Sunday. The boat was full of gas fumes. Glad I don't smoke. I opened the forward hatch to vent the fume...
