The Sunwind 26 is a 25.59ft fractional sloop designed by Tord Sundén and built in fiberglass between 1978 and 1982.
350 units have been built.
The Sunwind 26 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
