I read 18" somewhere but the manual states 3' 6"? They must be talking about the draft without the water ballast?

Thanks in advance...

ABK;

Go to boat information and look up Hunter 26 or 260 and there you will find all kinds of information to inc lude the owners manuals which is pretty much complete. Rick is correct with the centerboard up and the other with the centerboard down but again refer to boat information on either the 26 or 260

Not to contradict Crazy Dave, but my Hunter 260 is 21 inches with keel and rudder up (don't forget the rudder....it draws ~40 inches down) and 6 feet with keel down. If you're thinking 3' 6", you're in for a rude awaking! They must be talking about the fixed keel. Try this http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=6196

Deucer;

If you go to the boat information and pull up 26 and then click on specifications, the draft is stated there. It calls for 1' 9" centerboard up and the 6" with centerboard down. You are correct on the specs but incorrect on the advice I gave as that information is under the boat information for the 26. You can also pull up the 260 and the specs would be the same too as it is the same hull but with a different deck configuration.

I am not sure why you said I was incorrect but the main thing if it were not for me, there would be no 26 and 260

Crazy Dave,

We're in violent agreement. 1' 9" is 21 inches. And it's 6' (6" is six inches). Not to be too particular. It's just nobody was giving the correct info (and the reference was pretty easy to find...it's to the 26...but I noticed it says min draft is .75'...hum...that would be 9 inches...WAY TOO shallow).
