2013 Hank Hinckley Boat Builders Great Harbor 26 Sold Boat in Portsmouth, RI US
Built in 2013
Great Harbor 26
--
26 feet
--
Fiberglass/Reinforced
Factory Demonstrator - Never titled - low hours
This price represents a significant discount to the actual cost. Typical of the first building of a new design, additional time is expended on design development and final fitting of components.
This Great Harbor 26 Day Sailer (GH26DS) is a development of the original "Weekender" version. Accepting that most people use their boat on only a daily basis and might only use the cabin for a cold drink or to sit out the rain, we redesigned the deck and interior layout to accommodate those needs and to simplify the boat.
The result is a lovely traditional look on a Day Sailer that will perform 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 trailer-able 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 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.
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 weekender 26. We have expanded the cockpit and foredeck on this version, but left the defining mahogany coamings and cabin trim thus this boat has the look of her sisters, with a larger cockpit while affording a comfortable layout down below.
This boat is laid out in a fashion that works for weight and balance. The layout is complete with sink and counter for the installation of a stove if desired. The two "easy chairs" are a great place to relax in a rain squall. The head is located under one of the seats, so closing the companionway offers privacy. Forward is either open storage, or storage beneath a large double berth. The whole layout is simple and spacious.
Check out the cockpit space. More than ample room for 6 to 8 people. The foredeck is flat and easy to move around on and a self-tending jib would add to the ease of handling.
