The Etap 26, introduced in 1982, serves as a definitive example of the Belgian shipyard’s commitment to "unsinkable" yacht construction. Designed by Jacques de Ridder, this 7.75meter cruiser was engineered to provide coastal sailors with a level of safety and insulation rarely seen in the 26foot class. The vessel’s core identity is defined by its doubleskin fiberglass construction, where the cavity between the inner and outer hulls is filled with closedcell polyurethane foam. This not only provides the buoyancy required to remain afloat even when scuttled but also delivers exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation, a feature frequently highlighted in period reviews by European maritime journals.
