    It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5

    26.5 reviews This site has 20 owner reviews. I think the reviews I have read reflect the 26.5 strengths and weaknesses. Its a tender boat, but its quick and fun. Shallow wing keel allows more sailing options, but when (not if) you run aground, is a bit more difficult to get loose. It all very much depends on how you intend to use it.

    With a minimum of effort the Hunter 26.5 can be raced in mixed fleet racing well. I liked the layout of these boats as you mention. This boat won't require winches for the spinnaker if you put ratchet blocks behind the primaries.
