Sailboat class

The Nash 26 is a Canadian sailboat designed by Joe Nash and first built in 1975.[1][2][3]

The boat was built by J. J. Nash Industries in Strathroy, Ontario, Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]

The Nash 26 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 5,200 lb (2,359 kg) and carries 2,100 lb (953 kg) of ballast.[1][2][3]

The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][3]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 231 and a hull speed of 6.18 kn (11.45 km/h).[2][3]

Operational history

[edit]

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, “The Nash 26 … is a relatively large 26 footer with a nice interior layout which includes the maximum in the way of cruising amenities for a boat in this size range. Despite the priority placed on interior space, it still has acceptable proportions for a cruising boat, although some later Nash 26s appear to have been built with a slightly boxy-looking cabin.”[5]
