The Santana 26 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by W. D. Schock Corp's in-house designer, Seymour Paul, as a cruiser and first built in 1971.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Production
The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in the United States, from 1971 until 1974, with 83 boats completed over its four-year production run.[1][2][7][8][9]
Design
The Santana 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a nearly-plumb transom, a spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional swing keel.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and a drop-down dinette table that forms double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard admidships. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][2]
For sailing the design cane be equipped with a number of jibs or genoas.[2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.15 kn (11.39 km/h).[2]
