The C&C 26 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by C&C Design and first built in 1976. The C&C 26 design was developed into the C&C 26 Encounter in 1978.[1][2][3]

The C&C 26 Wave is a similarly named boat, but is actually a development of the C&C 27 Mark V.[1][3]

Production[edit]

The boat was built by C&C Yachts in Canada, starting in 1976, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]

Design[edit]

The C&C 26 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. The boat is fitted with an inboard engine.[1][3]
