Well, since you've discovered the facts in public domain so to speak, yes it was Brent57 who was the circumnavigator. He was kind enough to share those bits of advice. I'm not sure of the boat's name but I suspect you are right about that as well.

My boat is is the raised cabin version, hull no. 63, homeported in Sequim WA. Soon to be sailing in the San Juan islands.

Hello Haida owners.

I have a 1969 Haida 26 with a doghouse. I've been rebuiding it slowly, new standing rigging, furler, wiring, etc. I've replaced two of the headsails and I'm about to do the main.

I was wondering if anyone had a picture or a copy of the sail insignia? I think it's an "H" in the shape of a totem pole.

Thanks,
C.

I am getting ready to put beach legs mounts on my Haida 26. She is still on the hard, so I cannot test her tendency to go down in the bow, when sitting on her keel. My current intention is to put the legs forward of the lower forward point of the keel and a bit aft of the mast.

So, that is my question: Does the Haida 26 have any tendency to go down in the bow when sitting on a tide grid or on the hard?

I am hoping that the answer(s) will tend towards 'slightly' or 'a bit'. This would mean that I could put her up onto a gravel beach and adjust the legs so she is fairly level.

Thanks in advance.

Just keeping the forum alive. We sailed "Win A Wil " the other day and plan to sail back to the San Juan islands in April. I need new sails, add a transducer, etc but she is a stable, rugged little pocket cruiser.

Btw what do you think of "Haida Way" for a new name?

Let's keep these great little boats alive and salty.
