The Capo 26 is a highperformance racercruiser that exemplifies the design philosophy of the late Carl Schumacher and the precision craftsmanship of Santa Anabased Westerly Marine Inc. Born in the mid1980s, the vessel was conceived as a "sleeper"—a boat that offers a civilized interior while possessing the hull lines and sail area necessary to dominate PHRF fleets. Unlike the heavydisplacement cruisers produced by the British company of the same name, this Californianbuilt boat utilized advanced construction techniques to achieve a high powertoweight ratio, placing it in the same spiritual family as the Express 27 and Express 37. As noted by Carl Schumacher Designs, the Capo 26 was part of a focused lineage of performance yachts that prioritized clean foils and balanced waterlines.
