The ETAP 26i is a Belgian sailboat that was designed by Mortain & Mavrikios as a cruiser and first built in 1994.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Production

The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium between 1994 and 2006, but it is now out of production.^[1]^[4]

Design

The ETAP 26i is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a reverse transom with steps, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional dual tandem keels. It displaces 5,071 lb (2,300 kg) and carries 1,433 lb (650 kg) of iron ballast, with either keel.^[1]^[5]

The boat has a draft of 3.77 ft (1.15 m) with the standard keel and 2.95 ft (0.90 m) with the optional tandem keels.^[1]

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta 2010 10 hp (7 kW) diesel engine with a saildrive, for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 49 litres (11 imp gal; 13 US gal).^[1]^[3]^[5]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located opposite the galley, on the starboard side, aft of the navigation station.^[1]^[3]^[5]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker.^[1]^[3]

Operational history

The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.^[6]
