File:Hunter 26 sailboat Bebob 2605.jpg
The Hunter 26 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder and a centerboard. It displaces {{convert|4600|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|2000|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of flooding water ballast. The ballast is drained for road transport.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|6.00|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the centerboard extended and {{convert|1.75|ft|m|abbr=on}} retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|6.44|kn|km/h|2|abbr=on}}.{{cite web|url = http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/5718/hunter-26|title = Sailboat Specifications for Hunter 26 |access-date = 28 May 2018|work = Sailing Joy|author= InterVisionSoft LLC|year = 2018|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180529130023/http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/5718/hunter-26|archive-date= 29 May 2018|url-status= dead}}
