Offered for sale is my 1977 C&C 26 sailboat - S/V "Blue Bayou.
" Less common than her slightly longer 27' sister, the 26' offers interior space closer to that of a 30' boat (standing headroom!) in a smaller LOA due to her generous 10.
5' beam.
I'm just her third owner, and I've spent a lot of time preparing and updating her for worry-free sailing on Lake Erie.
Equally comfortable cruising or racing, the C&C 26 is an ideal Great Lakes boat.
She crushes her PHRF rating in light air and will readily achieve her max hull speed of an impressive 6.
5 knots.
She's a dry boat and sits pretty but, as with any 45-year-old boat, she does have cosmetic peccadillos consistent with her age (mostly confined to starboard side).
Her SOLID GLASS hull means you don't have to worry about water intrusion.
All lines are run aft to the cockpit for easy single-handed sailing.
Currently on the hard in Cleveland, OH.
Launch is included with the sale - dock is NOT included.
Delivery possible if you're on Lake Erie.
Selling only because I found my dream next boat, but I'm happy to keep sailing "Blue Bayou" if she doesn't sell!
Asking $10,000 OBO.
There's close to $4K in winches alone.
Boat is sold AS-IS, and I'm happy to answer all questions.
No keel-kickers or joyriders!
