About the LAURIN 26
The Laurin 26 is a rare, full-keel sloop designed by Arvid Laurin and built in very limited numbers, with only 22 hulls constructed between 1979 and 1981. Its scarcity and specific design lineage make it a unique entry in the late-1970s small cruiser market.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a stable, comfortable ride over high-speed performance, given its heavy displacement and full keel design.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 6614.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.75, the Laurin 26 exhibits the heavy, stable characteristics typical of offshore-capable designs, though its small size limits true bluewater endurance.
- Comparables:
- It compares to other late-1970s full-keel 26-footers like the Cal 2-26 or O'Day 26, sharing similar dimensions and a focus on traditional cruising comfort rather than racing capability.
