Outrigger 26 (Somersault 26)

Description

The Outrigger 26 (originally launched as the Somersault 26) represents one of the few production efforts based on the avant-garde designs of legendary multihull architect Dick Newick. Built by Outrigger Boat Co. starting in 1987, this ultra-lightweight trimaran embodies Newick's signature "South Seas" aesthetic with graceful, curved "mastodon-tusk" akas (cross-arms) and narrow, high-buoyancy hulls. With only 12-13 hulls ever produced before the company ceased operations in the early 1990s, this vessel occupies a unique niche in multihull history.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
