Garhauer will copy the bolt locations onto a new track, free of charge (?) (at
least it was free when I got mine). I strongly second the Garhauer
recommendation, Mine is working fine after more than 12 years. Though I got
the same traveler as the Catalina 36, so it does not work at the design limits.
Garhauer is also heavier than Harken, but you have to have everything else 110%
perfect for that to make a difference, in racing.

makes a track that has a longitudinal slot on the underside.
It fits the head of the installation bolts so they can slide
anywhere along the track. No filling and redrilling - they
can match the original bolt spacing - easy, quick
install.

I meant to say “I upgraded to New
Dacron sails and changed the Genoa to a 135”
I might have got a little more speed
from the folding prop, but the laminate Genoa sets much
better and allows me to point a little higher. A laminate
main would improve that some more. And hopefully reduce the
“bubble” at the luff.

Chris,
When I bought the 26, It came with a
150 Dacron genoa and a Dacron main. After a few years I
upgraded to new Dacron sails and changed the main to a 135.
Later I changed the Genoa to a 135 laminate sail from
Evolution Sails in Toronto.Both upgrades improved
performance (after all it is a sail boat), but the laminate
sail was such a difference that I think I would go with a
110 if I was doing it again.I still have the new
Dacron main but I might go with a laminate one
day. Best upgrades:New
sailsFolding propSelf
tailers (The folding prop might have given me
more speed than the new sails)

Thank you Sam!
This 26' could be dropped in
tomorrow. Most issues are cosmetic with the exception of one
stanchion and either the water fill or septic pump out cap
(don't want to confuse the two) LOL So some recoring
in the spring but I enjoy that kind of work and it really is
minimal. Other than that, shes good to go.
Thanks for the input. Main sail has
two reef points which I am thankful for.

I have a
1977 C&C 26.I was looking for a 27 when I bought
her.The 26 wasn’t raced much; the 27 is still
competitive!Most (many?) 27’s have been raced
hard and put away wet.That’s why I bought the
26 - it was in much better condition than all the 27’s I
looked at.The 26 is a tender boat!She
does move quite well in light air.I tend to reef
early; but she still moves well, even when
reefed.I lake sail, so not sure what she’d be
like in a big sea.I’ve had 7.4 knots on
occasion and high 6’s is fairly regular.She is
a roomy boat which is nice!I have a Yanmar 2GM20F
in mine with a Flexofold prop.I’ve done lots of
upgrades: self trailers / new sails / adjustable Genoa cars
/ ridged vang / etc., etc..I like the cockpit
size and tiller steering up close to the companionway with
the genoa trimmer behind on the winches.She’s a
good, solid boat compared to the Hunters and Catalina’s on
the lake.Don’t buy a project boat - get one you
can sail away!Upgrades are much more fun than
repairs.I see too many project boats that never
get in the water.
