Yachtsnet's
archive of boat details and pictures
|
| |
The following information and photographs are
displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details
and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could
be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of
the same class being identical. Where common variations exist,
we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.
The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional
boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines. |

Keel type |
Most yachts sold were twin bilge
keel, though fin keel versions were also built |
|
The Colvic Sailer 26 hulls were moulded by Colvic
Ltd., and sold in quite large numbers both to professional boatyards
and to home completers for fitting out. One of the major builders
using these hulls was Atlanta, who sold the resulting boat as
the Atlanta 26. The yacht shown here is another professionally
completed version, fitted out by Portsmouth Marine Engineering
Ltd., of Fareham, Hampshire. The hulls have twin bilge keels
moulded in as an integral part of the hull, with internal encapsulated
ballast. These keels are near vertical, unlike the angled-out
bolt-on iron keels keels found on yachts such as the Westerly
Centaur. This made moulding easier but is less efficient
under sail.
