Is 26' It?

From our friends at Corby. Do you see the 26' IRC class getting any traction? Jump on in our forum to discuss.

The Corby IRC 26 (new for 2007), a proper little yacht, Inboard sail drive engine. Sturdy rig. Roomy interior. Trial IRC certificate at 0.960.

Construction in Poland by Corby and Bergstrom, Foam core, continuous fiber reinforcement and Vinylester resin. Alloy rig with overlap genoas.

The inevitable question is how does this boat differ from the old Corby 25. The 25 started in 2000 and since then underwater shapes have become smoother because of torpedo keels. The bulb weight of a torpedo keel is further forward so the centre of buoyancy of the hull can also move forward, hence less hull volume under the cockpit and a smoother overall hull shape.

The 26 still carries an overlap rig and above the waterline will look very similar to the 25 however downwind we expect it to be noticeably quicker. Rating will be higher than the 25 but we are not worried because we believe the boat will be that much faster.

She will fit inside a 40 foot container, so deliveries worldwide available at good rates! Delivered as a complete package this boat makes a superb entry club racer, trailer width and centre-lifting points makes launching and moving the boat between regattas very easy.
