Broker's Comments

The Frances 26 is a blue water pocket cruiser designed by Chuck Paine. It is a double ender with a fairly fast keel for its characteristics, which makes this boat allegedly one of the best options for long crossings in boats of its length.

She is currently undergoing a complete refit to give her ocean category.

This is apparently the only model in Spain of the Frances 26.

Here is information about recent investment, direct from her owner:

Electric improvements 11,877 €
Engine up to date 1,944 €
New deck 6,955 €
Security 1,763 €
New sails and rig check 1,243 €
Radar reflector and boom brake walder 395 €
New VHF Antenna 105 €
New spinlocks 504 €
Hull renewal 3,083 €
AIS 748 €
Epirb 560 €
Dinghy 431 €
Total 29,608 €

Her current berth is not available to new owners.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Owners FAQ's

How long have you owned the boat for?

Since March 2021

Why are you selling her?

We have a bigger boat

Where have you sailed her?

I did mostly solo sailing with her. Basically we sail the boat from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca. And then sail her in the Balearic (Mallorca, Ibiza, Formentera, Menorca). The boat has been sailed mostly every weekend, in winter and in summer and in all kind of conditions.
