- Wood Hull
- HIN/IMO: LKS00206F202
Description
She is intended for the experienced yachtsman who appreciates first-class construction, but whose schedule and/or preference demands the ease and practicality of a daysailer easily managed by one or two people in most conditions.
The LS 26 design (by Maine-based Naval Architect Ken Rusinek) combines classic, traditional good looks above the waterline with a contemporary, high-performance underbody and appendages. The hull is balanced, with a relatively narrow beam, moderate displacement, fin keel, and a spade rudder.
Stability comes from a low center of gravity rather than a wide beam, there by allowing the LS-26 Weekender to stay on her feet and maintain her balance as the wind pipes up.

Construction, Deck and Hull
The LS 26’s construction combines the best features and aesthetics of a wooden boat, and the strength, rigidity, and low maintenance of fiberglass. The hull is “cold molded:”four (1/8″) layers of Western Red Cedar are impregnated with West System epoxy, covered with a layer of 6oz fiberglass cloth for durability. All veneers are vacuum-bagged between plies. Full-length stringers, structural bulkheads, and joiner work are fully bonded to the hull to form a stiff monolithic structure.
The deck is Xynol-covered plywood over laminated spruce beams.
The cockpit drains through a slatted teak sole to a bilge with both an automatic electric bilge pump on a float switch, and a manual Guzzler-type bilge pump near the helm.
The fin keel is a lead casting with 3% antimony for strength. The keel is bedded in3M 5200and thru-bolted to the hull with stainless steel keel bolts. Welded stiffners on the stainless steel rudder stock distribute the steering loads to the fiberglass rudder skins.
Chainplates are thru-bolted to the hull structure.
All deck hardware is bedded and thru-bolted with backing plates/washers.

Tom was the one of the service managers at Yacht Haven in Stamford, Connecticut from 1979 â 1994. Since Tom was always sending customers to Prestige Yacht Sales, he thought he should try the brokerage business. That was eighteen years ago, Tom has since become owner of Prestige Yacht Sales. Prestige Yacht Sales has grown from one office in Stamford with three brokers, to three offices in Norwalk, Essex and Mystic with seven full time brokers! "After working in the boatyard for so many years, I never thought of myself as a sales person. To this day I think of myself as a customer service guy that happens to know and love boats. Hey, where else can I work and bring my Springer Spaniel, Wesley with me every day? I think most of my customers actually come to see him not me!"
