Designed by the legendary William Crealock during the height of the 1970s trailerable sailboat boom, the Clipper Marine 26—occasionally identified by the variant spelling "Klipper"—was conceived as a bridge between the nimble daysailer and the serious coastal cruiser. Launched by California-based Clipper Marine, the vessel was a standout for its time, successfully pushing the limits of what could be legally towed behind a standard passenger vehicle. At 26 feet in length with an 8-foot beam, it maximized the legal towing width of the era while maintaining a remarkably light displacement of approximately 2,400 to 2,500 pounds. This design philosophy prioritized accessibility and "road-to-water" versatility, allowing sailors to bypass expensive mooring fees and explore inland lakes and coastal sounds with equal ease.
