The Great Harbour 26, often designated as the N26 or Navigator 26, represents a specialized niche in the marine industry: the truly "pocket" trawler with bluewater aspirations. Designed by Ken Fickett and built by Mirage Manufacturing in Gainesville, Florida, this vessel was conceived to offer the redundancy, stability, and interior volume of a 40foot coastal cruiser within a 26foot trailerable envelope. Unlike typical trailerboats that prioritize speed and light weight, the Great Harbour 26 is a heavydisplacement power vessel built with a "formstable" hull characterized by a massive 10foot beam. This beamtolength ratio is one of its most defining features, providing a level of initial stability rarely found in vessels under 30 feet. The boat is typically powered by twin outboards, a configuration chosen to maximize interior living space while providing the docking maneuverability and safety redundancy usually reserved for much larger yachts. Detailed specifications and the design philosophy behind this "miniship" can be explored through the official Great Harbour Trawlers website.
