A compact and capable daysailer and coastal cruiser, the Titania 26 offers an approachable entry point for sailors seeking a manageable yet rewarding boat. Designed with practicality in mind, this vessel suits weekend sailors and those looking to explore sheltered coastal waters without the complexity of a larger offshore cruiser.
With limited published specifications widely available, the Titania 26 remains something of a quieter name in the sailing world, though owners who have sailed her tend to appreciate her straightforward character and ease of handling. Her size makes her well suited to single-handed or short-handed sailing, where simplicity and responsiveness are valued over outright performance.
For those considering a first keelboat or a low-maintenance coastal companion, the Titania 26 represents a sensible choice. Prospective buyers are encouraged to seek out existing owners and class associations for firsthand accounts of her sailing qualities and any particular maintenance considerations. As with many boats in this size range, condition and fit-out of individual examples will vary considerably, making a thorough survey an important step in any purchase decision.
Ballast/Displacement
Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
Displacement/Length
Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy

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

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.

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.
