I just bought an Excalibur 26 to restore then sail out of San Diego Any other owners out there? Anyone know of sources for orig plans, motor configurations, or other info.. The only sail plane info I've found is on Bacon Sails website Any help or info appreciated Mike
I had for alittle over a year a 69 26' excaliber (sold it last year) , spent most of the time looking high and low for info on it but came up short. I do know the design is one of Crelocks early works, it was/is a quick and fast little boat, as far as the motor config goes, it's a OB in a eng well, BUT , not all OB's will work, I was able to drop in a new 20" shafted 5hp merc 4 stroke and that was about perfect, however, make sure it exhausts threw the prop, mine did not and it was too loud IMO. We kinda wish we had kept it, awsome little boat, classic lines and a total blast to sail; I had a buddy in Dana Point 5 slips up from me who had a 68 that he has been racing for years and does really well Sorry,not much help, but you gotcha a very sweet boat
I owned a 1967 Excalibur 26 for a number of years up to about 20 years ago. A couple of thoughts: I found that the outboard in a well arrangement was very convenient, but the engine would sometimes stall out. The reason was that the outboard exhaust would bubble up and the fumes would kill the engine. I solved this problem by running a tube from the exhaust down further in the water, so the exhaust would go into the water rather than the well. We also ran into some concern about the stability of the keel, at one point we found some motion in the keel and had to have it reinforced. Unfortunately i don't remember the details. Enjoy the boat.
Seeing your pictures brings back old memories. The upside of the well was that the outboard was very conveniently at hand and, because it was closer to midships, it did not come out of the water in rough seas. The downside was that it was not able to be turned for maneuverability, it would sometimes crap out from the exhaust gases, and the propeller and well opening made for a very unsmooth water flow, especially under sail. Our boat had an insert whcih fit into the well and provided a very fair covering for the opeining of the well when the engine was removed. There was a small board on the forward side of the well to mount the outboard. We eventually put it on the transom as well, so that we could get the maneuverability and kick it up when under sail. We used a spring loaded bracket to lift the long shaft clear of the water. Like most boating decisions, this was a compromise -- the controls were very hard to reach when using the outboard, and I discovered that it often came out of the water in rough seas as the boat rocked fore and aft. I guess the two alternatives each had shortcomings, and I have since joined the diesel inboard fraternity.
Hello Flyinmike! I just found your thread and wondered how your boat project was going. I own an Excalibur 26 also. We sailed it for three years and then I built a trailer for it and drug it home to restore. I have done some accomodation modifications to make it more user friendly for a family of four, and am still working on it. As far as the motor well goes, when we first bought the boat it had and old long shaft 10 hp in there. When that died I installed an outboard mount like you have on the transom to use a short shaft merc I already owned. The transom mount is next to impossible to use because I had to crawl over the back of the cockpit and lean down to get the controls, and to raise/lower the thing. You can't reach the tiller and motor at the same time, and leaning over the transom is not a safe place to be when motoring out of a tight harbor in rolling swells. Also, the transom mounted engine will come out of the water one minute and be submerged the next as your boat pitches up and down. I would suggest mounting the longest shaft engine you could buy in the motor well. Marc
'77 Iona Excalibur 26 Looking for any info out there on the Excalibur, Anyone have a good source? Thanks
This place is as good as your going to find I'm affraid, had one for a couple years and had a blast with it. Not many left, I think there was only 4 or 5 on the west coast when we had ours and 3 were in the same marina. BTW where are you located
Location I'm at Newmarks Yacht Centre and there is another Excalibur just down the road in dry dock.

who is the builder of yours? Approximately 25 EXCALIBUR 26s were built by Excalibur Marine Corp in the mid 60s. Another 200 or so were produced when the molds were purchased by by Islander Yachts. Later, a few more were built when Iona Yachts aquired the molds.
Iona Made my boat
Mine was Islander in 1969, wish we still had it
Mine was Islander from '67. I am curious, I remember some of them had a problem with lateral movement in the keel, which was a pretty deep fin (4'11" if I recall). Was this a widespread problem?
heres about all i could glean EXCALIBUR 26 Sailboat details on sailboatdata.com Aquaries
We have a '65 Wayfarer Excalibur 26, 'Gefion', she's awesome! We've got a '78 6HP Johnson long-shaft outboard for power, fits in the well with some finagling. Our boat came with a folding outboard rack to hold the outboard in the cabin sole when sailing or docked, and a fiberglass insert for the hole so the bottom of the hull is fair without the motor. It also has several different headsails, including a spinnaker, if anybody is curious about the measurements let me know and we'll spread them out on the Marina Green and see what we have. The previous owner used to race the boat, but it had been rather neglected when we got it. We gave it a good cleaning, replaced most of the running rigging, and we enjoyed a season of sailing on the bay. Now we're waiting for the weather to get better, and for our 'new' boat to get delivered.
Hi there. I bought my Excalibur 26 two and a half years ago in Moss Landing, CA and sailed the boat to her new home in Monterey, CA with her previous owner. I really love this boat and the more work we put into it, the more we love her. Our outboard is mounted on the transom and the well is used for the fuel tank. After redoing all the wiring and updating the interior, we are now ready to update the safety lines. She has a furler for the jib. My friend and I want to sail the Spinnaker Cup from San Francisco to Monterey, but she is not rigged for a spinnaker. And from the looks of it, it doesn't appear that any previous owners ever used a spinnaker on the boat. If anyone has any photos or word descriptions of the Excalibur's spinnaker setup, I would love to hear about it. Thanks.
I live near SF Bay and would like to find a clean, sound Excalibur 26. Anyone know of one for sale (preferably in CA). Howard
Jut picked up a 1968 - 26' Excalibur with a 6 hp motor in Boston so thinking I may have the only one on the east coast maybe. Already thinking of extending the exhaust into the water as someone suggested. Also going to redo the cabin, wood needs a lot of replacing anyone have any suggestions in doing this ? Anyways just wanted to see if anyone is still active on this board.
I posted a few hours ago but it didn't show up. So here goes again: I bought a '67 Excalibur 26 in January. Had it trucked up from Marina Del Rey to Napa. The outside and sails are in great shape but the inside needs finishing. Would be glad to exchange photos and info. Howard
That would be great Howard. I use to live in Vacaville in the late 90's too. send me to rt.webglobalnet gmail I'll send you photos of mine My name is Rob btw
Re: Excalibur 26 wiring Anyone have a wiring diagram for the excalibur (26') This large a boat is new to me and i have no idea how to wire the boat especially the mast and bow lighting. Would I need to unstep the Mast to check and replace that ? If so any work around for that ? I am replacing the V berth so I assume the wiring for the bow lights will need to run under that when replaced. Along with this boat I just bought comes a 12 V battery and solar panel charging system. Is a second battery as a back up recommended ? Also how would you handle a traditional plug for appliances ? - Mainly my kuerig coffee maker. Thanks
Not sure if your still on line here but can you send me your photos of the Harken roller furler.
Yes, I'm still here and also at the Islander Forum. Sorry I don't have a wiring diagram. Eventually I'm going to have to wire my boat too. I can send a photo of my roller furler. Howard Forever Young
