26' Hank Hinckley Boat Builders Great Harbor 26

GH26 #5 design is an opportunity for a prospective owner to customize his or her boat right at the factory. Presently, this boat is in sailing condition with a few details still open, it allows an extraordinary amount of flexibility in equipment and decor.
This Great Harbor 26 Day sailor (GH26DS) is a development of the original “Weekender” version. Accepting that most people only use the boat on a daily basis and might only get in the cabin for a cold drink or to sit out the rain, we redesigned the deck and layout to accommodate those needs and to simplify the boat. The result is a lovely traditional look on a boat that will sail with the best. To keep her cabin open, we built this boat with a fixed keel. It has the same underwater profile as the lift keel 26s, but does not have the keel trunk located in the cabin necessitated by the lifting mechanism and clearance for the keel. The boat still is of a beam and length to be trailerable and she is a bit lighter as a result of not having the lift keel accommodations.
Down below, the interior is designed to be comfortable and open. The short berth forward is
primarily built as a berth for the younger set. The comfortable seats are just right for settling in
with a book on a rainy afternoon or waiting out a squall. We can and will install at the buyer’s request a stainless steel ice box in the port counter and a sink with hand pump for potable water in the starboard side. The marine head is located under the port seat. There is a holding tank with deck pump out fitting located under the forward berth. The GH26 Daysailer is in response to customer requests for a simpler, lighter and of course less expensive version of the standard 26. We have expanded the cockpit and foredeck on this version, but left the defining mahogany coamings and cabin trim. This boat will still have the look of her sister. Below decks she might have almost no interior or something more comfortable like the layout below. Of course, as these are only built to order, they can be laid out in any fashion.
