The Capo 26 is a compelling chapter in West Coast yachting history. Designed by the legendary naval architect Carl Schumacher and constructed by Westerly Marine in Santa Ana, California, the yacht was conceived as an highperformance racercruiser with a civilized "sleeper" interior. With only 15 hulls ever produced after its introduction in 1982, it remains a rare, highly soughtafter design. It stands apart from the heavydisplacement cruisers manufactured by the British builder of the same name; this Americanbuilt pocket rocket utilized advanced composite construction to achieve a formidable powertoweight ratio. It shares its spiritual DNA with Schumacher’s iconic Express line, serving as a nimble alternative to heavier production pocket cruisers of the era.
