26 ft Raised Deck Twin Keel Cutter
Designed by Jay R. Benford
A 26 ft design from Jay Benford's catalog, drawn for plywood construction. One of the sailing dories, the range that produced Annie and Pete Hill's Badger and the boat Annie wrote Voyaging On A Small Income about.
Benford publishes a displacement of 8,000 lb in coastal cruising trim, which is tanks full with the crew and their stores aboard rather than a shipping weight. Plans are sold to owner-builders, and study plans are sold separately for anyone wanting to look before committing.
