It was interesting to see the differences in the H26 and H260. They may be the same boat but they're not really. ....
I didn't want to hijack another thread but
@Kermit made the above statement and since I've never been on a 260, I'd like to know how they are the same and how are they different.... so for those of you who have sailed both boats give us the breakdown of similarities and differences.

Do they sail differently? Are the controls different? How is the layout different?

I was on @dgreen1991's boat for a couple hours including sailing time. At first glance they're the same. The transom is different. The step up from the cockpit to the deck is different but I can't explain the difference. It just is. They seem to sail about the same. There are other subtle differences that I'll try to write here as I think of them. Or better yet we can compare in a week or so. "I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours."
