Father's Day Idea - Well-maintained 2002 Colgate 26 for sale at $27,000

If you enjoy sailing and have been thinking about getting a boat, this could be the one for you - right in time for Father's Day!   The beautifully designed, multi-purpose Colgate 26 design sailboat has been around now since 1997 and has gathered many kudos for quality, performance, comfort, and style.  Whether you are into racing, daysailing or "gunkholing" (cruising close to shore - although the C-26 is rated to go offshore too) - this boat is a lot of fun!

Even if you are so new to sailing you are not sure which type of sailor you are, the Colgate 26 will make you feel happy and secure, as it was originally designed as to teach people how to sail.  Conceived by Steve Colgate, it was designed by the legendary naval architect Jim Taylor.  It is a very well built, comfortable, durable boat that novices can learn to sail in three days in just about any sort of weather conditions and is fun, fast, "virtually unsinkable", comfortable, and easy to sail.  Since Jim Taylor has designed over 102 boats, including America's Cup boats, he could not help building in great performance as well.  It is the wondrous result of an outstanding collaboration!

This boat is located in Old Saybrook, CT.  It has never been raced, has North Sails including a racing spinnaker, only two owners with just light use, new bottom paint, depth and speed instruments and is ready to sail away!  Just email  HLSails@aol.com if you are interested in seeing it or have any questions.   I am known as the "Colgate Queen", having sailed them since they first came arrived in 1997 and helping people purchase them since 2002.  Don't forget about Father's Day!!
