The Parker Dawson 26, often referred to interchangeably with its predecessor, the Midship 25, is a singular entry in the history of American pocket cruisers. Designed by Robert Finch in the late 1960s and produced through the 1970s, this vessel was engineered to provide the amenities of a much larger offshore yacht within a trailerable 26foot frame. Its most striking and controversial feature is its centercockpit configuration—a design choice almost never seen on boats under 30 feet. This layout was intended to offer a "big boat" feel, providing separate sleeping quarters and a degree of privacy that was revolutionary for its era and size class.
