About the DELPHIA 26
Hull length: 7.79m / 26.74 ft. Available with a fixed keel: - draft: 1.75m / 5.74 ft - displacement: 2,400 kg / 5291 lbs. - ballast: 840 kg / 1,852 lbs.
The Delphia 26 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Andrzej Skrzat and built by Delphia Yachts (POL) starting in 2008. With a displacement of 5071.0 lb and a beam of 9.35 ft, it represents a niche entry in the small cruiser market, though specific hull production numbers remain unverified.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, lightweight vessel that is easy to trailer and dock. Its fractional rig and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio (18.61) make it appealing to single-handers or couples prioritizing ease of handling over heavy offshore endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.18 and a relatively light displacement of 5071.0 lb, the Delphia 26 is primarily suited for coastal and protected waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and variable draft options support shallow water access but do not suggest heavy offshore stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 26 and the J/26, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and target the same performance-oriented coastal cruising demographic. These models offer similar footprints and handling characteristics, though the Delphia 26 distinguishes itself with its Polish build origin and specific designer input.
