About the Cc 26

With limited specifications available in public records, the Cc 26 represents one of the more elusive entries in the 26-foot sailboat category. This scarcity of detailed information suggests either limited production numbers or a boat that didn't achieve widespread market penetration during its manufacturing period. Based on the typical characteristics of boats in this size range, the Cc 26 would most naturally suit coastal cruising and daysailing applications. Twenty-six-foot sailboats generally offer an ideal balance between manageable size for smaller crews and sufficient interior space for weekend getaways or extended day trips. Without extensive documentation readily available, potential buyers should approach this model with careful research and thorough inspection. The limited specification availability could indicate either a boutique manufacturer with minimal marketing reach or a design that predates widespread documentation practices in the sailing industry. For sailors considering the Cc 26, connecting with existing owners through sailing forums or yacht clubs may prove more valuable than traditional specification sheets. This grassroots approach often reveals real-world performance characteristics and maintenance considerations that formal documentation might miss, providing crucial insights for making an informed purchasing decision.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
17.26
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
15.21
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
2.38
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.51
S# (Speed Number) The Speed Number (S#) is a quick performance index. Higher values indicate a faster, more powerful design relative to its size.
Under 3.0 — Slow cruiser3.0–5.0 — Average cruiser5.0–7.0 — Performance cruiserOver 7.0 — Racer
2.94
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 877.93
