Albatros 26
Designed by Paolo Lodigiani and Matteo Costa
The smallest of the Albatros series, keeping the family's lines and arrangement but a different boat in type and intention. She is still a sea boat, able to deal with a sudden change of weather, but the size makes her less suited to long or demanding passages. The interior is classical: a V double forward, a saloon with a lowering table making a second double, and a single under the cockpit seat. Five can sleep aboard; the firm thinks four is the right number and would rather the rest of the space went to lockers.
The smallest of the Albatros series at 8 m, keeping the family lines but drawn for a different job from her sisters: a sea boat meant to take bad weather rather than a coastal cruiser. Round hulled strip planking, an expert build.
What building a Albatros 26 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
