The Didi 26 is a performance trailer sailor for
racing and weekend cruising.
AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FALL 2007
The keel is a vertical drop keel with a
400kg torpedo bulb on the end of the high
aspect foil lifted by a tackle system led to
a cabin-top winch. Fully retracted, the bulb
remains below the hull, with a draft of 1'
8". Sailing draft is 5' 7". The rudder has a
fixed blade and is transom hung on
conventional pintles. |

The cockpit and bridge-deck together
is 9' 9" long, giving plenty of
space for working the boat while
racing or socializing or sunning
when cruising. The rig is deck
stepped on a hinged foot, fractional
with two sets of swept
spreaders. The working headsails are
non-overlapping and sheet inside the
shrouds. A light drifter can be
flown outside the shrouds and sheets
to the spinnaker blocks on the
quarters. |

The fractional and
masthead spinnakers are
asymmetric, set on a
retractable pole on the
foredeck. The inboard
end is fitted on a
radiused transverse
track to allow the
outboard end to be
projected up to weather
for sailing at deeper
angles. Extension and
retraction of the pole
can be done from either
rail, with the pole
retracting to whichever
side is convenient at
the time. |

Down below there is sitting headroom
throughout. She has a small galley
with two-plate cooker, sink, icebox
and a seat for the cook. The
drop-keel casing forms one side of
the enclosed heads compartment,
which includes a bin type wet
locker. The dinette table drops to
convert the pair of single V-berths
into a double. Auxiliary power can
be
provided by an outboard clamped to
the transom.
