The Bombay express 26 is a 26.0ft fractional sloop designed by Walter H. Scott and built in fiberglass since 1978.
The Bombay express 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 coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a short water supply range.
