Used Annapolis 26 (Holmes) Sailboats for Sale

The Annapolis 26 (Holmes) is a classic 25.58-foot monohull sailboat, recognized as a moderate-weight vessel designed with a focus on stable and reasonably good performance. Conceived by naval architect John Holmes, reportedly from Nocomis, Florida, this masthead sloop was brought to life by Tidewater Boats, an Annapolis, Maryland-based builder whose operations were active around the early 1970s. The boat carved out a niche as a capable cruiser, potentially even serving in sailing school fleets, embodying the enduring appeal of compact, well-built sailing craft.
