Hi Kiwi Bob,
To my knowledge the TE 26 is built like the TE 28 but has a 8'6" beam for trailering. Many were Volvo powered with an outdrive. They were all almond color and convertibles.

Not many were made, I believe somewhere around 4 or 5. The first one I saw had the full pilot house like the 28. I was told that it was very unstable (top heavy) and they removed the pilothouse and made it a convertible to lower the center of gravity.

If you want detailed info, give Ken Hilton at Standish Boatyard (Tiverton, RI) a call. Ken had the 1st 26 at his docks for sea trials for quite a while. You can reach Ken at 401-624-4075.
