Sirius 26
Description
This Canadian sailboat was designed by Jean Berret, modified by Vandestadt and McGruer, and first built in 1987. The Sirius 26 is a development of the Kelt 7.6, production of which ran from 1980 to 1984, primarily differing in having a reverse transom and a lead wing keel. Built by Vandestadt and McGruer Limited in Canada, only six examples were produced before the company went out of business in 1988. This recreational keelboat features fiberglass construction with a masthead sloop rig, raked stem, reverse transom, and transom-hung rudder controlled by tiller.
