Production
The design was built by O'Day Corp. in the United States between 1965 and 1968, with 80 examples completed.
After production had been completed the molds for the Outlaw 26 design were sold to Northern Yachts of Ajax, Ontario, Canada. The design was developed into the Northern 25 in 1970, with the addition of a fin keel and a taller cabin.{{cite web|url = http://sailquest.com/market/models/north25.htm|title = Northern 25 |accessdate = 7 December 2018|last=McGoldrick |first=Michael |work = Sail Quest|year = 2018|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220406002227/http://sailquest.com/market/models/north25.htm|archive-date= 6 April 2022|url-status= live}}
Design
The Outlaw 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a raised transom, a keel- mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces {{convert|5050|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|2300|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|4.25|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel fitted.
A tall rig version was available, with a mast about {{convert|2.0|ft|m|abbr=on}} higher than standard for locations with lighter average winds.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor in a transom well, for docking and maneuvering.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|5.84|kn|km/h|2|abbr=on}}.{{cite web|url = http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/399/outlaw-26-o-day|title = Sailboat Specifications for Outlaw 26 |access-date = 7 December 2018|work = Sailing Joy|author= InterVisionSoft LLC|year = 2018|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20181209123755/http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/399/outlaw-26-o-day|archive-date= 9 December 2018|url-status= dead}}{{cite web|url = http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/535/outlaw-26-o-day-tm|title = Sailboat Specifications for Outlaw 26 TM |access-date = 7 December 2018|work = Sailing Joy|author= InterVisionSoft LLC|year = 2018|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20181209123956/http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/535/outlaw-26-o-day-tm|archive-date= 9 December 2018|url-status= dead}}
