Raven 26 Fantail


Recommended Posts

I was once a very good condition Raven called I think Joshua, a pity no one showed Annie how easily and well they sail in standard configuration! Reminds me of the Hiscocks on their last boat, no one showed them how slab reefing works so they reverted to what they knew old roller reefing and the consequent strange looking main shape.

Probably about 33 years ago we used to get a dozen plus R26's for the Akarana winter series. A lot of us used to go down from BBYC and PYBC.

Also used to have Nationals run by the home of Ravens, the PYBC.

About the same time I was crewing on an H28 in a 20+ boat winter series fleet

And we had a Piedy.  Twenty boats or more and super competitive.  Spent the first year coming second to last, consistently.  And the Feltex, four days of racing over two weekends.  Buddy magic time for yacht racing!
