Falmouth 26

[jwaldin]

Does anyone have information about the Falmouth 26 designed by the Falmoth Boat Constuction firm with consultation by Nigel Smyth. Did he actually design the boat? Does anyone know where other Falmouth 26 boats are? This boat is in one of Rodger Tayors' books. Does anyone know the owner of the Curlew 111? I here it is at Canoe Cove Marina Sidney B.C. Our boat 'Relentless' is supposed to be her twin. Thanks in adance for the help. John Waldin

It is quite likely that this boat was designed by Nigel Warington Smyth.The transom is similar to some of his other boats such as Restive,the lines of this are in Eric Hiscocks book Cruising under Sail.The Falmouth Boat Construction yard was owned by his brother Rodney Warington Smyth who was also a designer,so he may have had a hand in it.Ther used to be one of these boats near here but I havnt seen it for some years.As the Brothers are all now deceased most of the yard records are gone.

They have just about the sweetest Falmouth 26 there is. I think she won the small cruiser trophy at the Victoria, BC, show this year.
