1026.0. "Seafarer 26 Lust" by SAILBT::HEARNS (Fletcher Hearns...........DTN 291-8423) Mon Oct 24 1988 12:41

    
    
    	I was wondering if any of you folks out in sailboat land
    	could help with some info and/or opinions.
    
    	I just feel in love this weekend, and I need some advice.
    
    	She's a SEAFARER 26, darkgreen, build in 1982.  She has 
    	everything a first time boat owner wants or need for enjoying
    	weekends away from it all.  And the price is just about what
    	I can aford, ok so maybe just a little more.
    
    	The question is, does any one have a knowledge of this type
    	of vessel (good or bad).  I am looking forward to your
    	answers.
    
    
    					thanks

    Seafarer 26...designed by McCurdy & Rhodes.  Produced by several
    plants in the U.S.,  most came from NY.  Back when I was the only
    yacht broker that my wife trusted I sold several of them.  They
    were "price" boats but were built with a fairly high level of
    structural quality.  I don't recall any that flunked survey.  Quite
    basic below with somewhat plastic interior.  Most were powered by
    an inbd Yanmar dsl...some were outboard.  What's the asking price?

    Seems a little on the high side...I assume that it's inbd dsl powered
    and for that price must have a ton of extras and a super sail
    inventory.  Still sounds high.

    Our first sailboat was a Seafarer 26, and we loved it so much, that
    we have since traded up to a Seafarer 30!. We looked at other boats,
    but kept coming back to the Seafarer. The factory used to be located
    in Huntington Long Island, but I believe that they are now in Mexico.
    
    Good Luck!
