The Accent 26, also called the Albin Accent and the Shipman Accent, is a Swedish sailboat that was designed by Peter Norlin as an International Offshore Rule Quarter Ton class cruiser- racer and first built in 1975. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Production
The design was built by both Albin Marine and Shipman Sweden AB in Sweden, from 1975 to 1980, with a total of 760 boats completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Design
The Accent 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of unswept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 5,512 lb (2,500 kg) and carries 1,962 lb (890 kg) of iron ballast. [1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 5.05 ft (1.54 m) with the standard keel. It is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 8 hp (6 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. [1] [2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and two aft quarter berths. There is a drop-leaf table in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. [1] [2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.07 kn (11.24 km/h). [2]
Operational history
The prototype won the 1974 World Quarter Ton class Championships. [1]
