Design
The Sonata 26 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a lifting or optional fixed fin keel. It displaces 2,822 lb (1,280 kg) and carries 500 lb (227 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 5.09 ft (1.55 m) with the lifting keel down and 0.69 ft (0.21 m) with the keel up. A fixed keel version was also built with a draft of 5.2 ft (1.6 m)[1]

gollark: Please tell me. I put it on my desk but now I can't find it.
gollark: Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents?
gollark: Cool, right?
gollark: Apioforms keep incursing, by the way.
