Rodgers 26
Description
The Rodgers 26 is a classic American pocket racer/cruiser from the late 1970s–early 1980s, designed by O. H. Rodgers (a Tampa, Florida-based naval architect known for MORC and IOR-inspired performance boats). It was built by Rodgers himself (or small-scale production under his name), with limited numbers produced—making it a somewhat rare find today. This model follows the Rodgers 24 in Rodgers' lineup of lightweight, agile designs optimized for club racing, MORC (Midget Ocean Racing Club) competition, and weekend coastal cruising.
