Do you need an outboard with a long gear case for these sailboats?

it looks as though the hull would not be able to sit on the keel because of the position of the bunks. Can you move the trailer wheels back? That would change the load. If so, move the winch tower back to meet the eye and you'd be golden.

almost looks as if the trailer is not set up properly. I've spent some time setting up bunks and rollers for ski boats.

Is there any clearance to use an automotive floor jack? perhaps you could take the load up just enough then winch forward. the jack would carry the load and it would roll.

wow, you tube sailing lessons!!! i never thought of that.

I'm relatively new hear so i'm hear throughout the day reading as many old posts as possible. Great stuff. I still have my eye on this C26 but can't swing the price. plannig to wait until midseason and lowball.

Would love to see more pics. these are beautiful boats.

NYC, I do all my sailing in the Delaware Bay. The swing keel is perfect because the bay is so shallow in areas, especially entering and exiting the marina. i'll be sure to keep you posted. by the way, the boat was last registered in 2002. Can't tell for sure but it may have been kept indoors because ...

Thanks for all your advice. I did go to look at the boat yesterday afternoon. I was not able to get up into the cockpit or cabin though. Need to bring my ladder.

Hull appears to be in good condition. Gelcoat is in good shape. Appears to have many layers of bottom paint. i spotted some rotted wood ...

Hi Folks, i'm going to look at a C26 this weekend. it's not far from work. I don't know its age or condition.

Please describe some things to look for to determine weather or not to buy.

Aside from a hole in the hull, what would make this a bad purchase.

thanks, Dave
