C-26 Name
Darin,
I dont' know where it comes from, but the sailing.lizards website photos section (http://chryslersailing.lizards.net/sail_photos.html)
refer to the C-26 as "C-26 Courser."
If this was ever a "semi-official" name, (does anyone know?) it would certainly be a cool one. Check out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courser_%28horse%29
at least, I certainly like it. So that's my story and I'm stickin' with it.

I like the box for storage, but it doesn't look watertight. I also would not be able to transport the spars fully within the cockpit like I do now. What do you think those straps attached to the trunk are for?gizmoJoe wrote:That boat on Ebay kind of puts mine to shame. I gotta get out the buffing compound. Lee, did you see the box around the daggerboard trunk? Might be something to think about. Joe
I'm more interested in what he did with the sail. I wonder if Chrysler changed the design on the 74's or if that is a mod. I hate the fact that I can't reef the sail while underway with my sleeve type main.
Did you you also notice that he had to put a deck plate at the stern as well as patch over the bailer just like I had to do?

Your are right the name for the C-26 is COURSER. I have the original color brochure on the 1979 Chrysler cruising sailboats the C-26, C-22 and C-20. It states the C-26 is COURSER, the C-22 is Sandpiper, but dose not have a name for the C-20. The brochure has all specifications , standard and opional equipment for all three boats
