The Eventide 26 stands as a cornerstone of the post-war amateur boatbuilding movement, designed by the prolific Maurice Griffiths, longtime editor of Yachting Monthly. Specifically tailored for the shallow, drying estuaries of the UK’s East Coast, the Eventide was originally conceived as a 24-foot design before being expanded to the more versatile 26-foot version. Constructed primarily of marine plywood on oak frames—though later iterations appeared in steel and occasionally GRP—the design features a distinctive hard-chine hull and a shallow draft, usually paired with triple keels (a central ballast keel and two bilge plates) or a single fin. Its primary appeal remains its "go-anywhere" capability, allowing owners to take the ground upright on tidal flats where deeper-keeled yachts cannot venture.
