1977 C&C 26

This 1977 C&C 26 is a fiberglass pocket cruiser undergoing a modern powertrain conversion. The boat is transitioning from its original single-cylinder Yanmar diesel to a 5 hp electric motor paired with a new propeller, supported by a 48-volt electrical system and three solar panels for charging.

The electric drivetrain represents a substantial upgrade to the boat's propulsion and energy independence. The addition of solar generation allows extended cruising while minimizing reliance on shore power, making this a capable day sailor and weekender with reduced operational complexity.
