New Horizons 26
The New Horizons 26 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser and first built in 1958. It was Sparkman & Stephens design #1235.
The New Horizons 26 was initially marketed as the New Horizons 25.
The boat was introduced at the New York Boat Show in 1957 and 30 boats were sold at that show, marking it as an instant commercial success for the builder, Ray Greene & Company in Toledo, Ohio, United States. The design was built starting as a 1958 model and running until about 1966, with 175 boats were completed.
The boat was the first Sparkman & Stephens production design especially for construction in fiberglass, which was then a new material for boatbuilding. Green's company was an early adopter of fiberglass construction.
The New Horizons 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, an angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed, stub, modified long keel, the retractable centerboard. It displaces 6,030 lb (2,735 kg) and carries 1,600 lb (726 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 6.42 ft (1.96 m) with the centerboard extended and 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat was factory-fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 25 hp (19 kW) gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering, but could optionally be fitted with a small 8 to 25 hp (6 to 19 kW) outboard motor. The fuel tank holds 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal).
The boat was fitted with a molded fiberglass interior, one of the first boats to have this feature. The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two quarter berths under the cockpit. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a stove and a sink, with an ice box opposite, on the port side. The head is located amidships, on the port side. Cabin headroom is 74 in (188 cm).
