The Rodgers 26 is a classic pocket racercruiser from the late 1970s, conceived during the peak of the Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) era. Designed and built in limited numbers by naval architect O. H. Rodgers in Tampa, Florida, the boat was engineered to perform on the highly competitive club racing circuits of the Gulf Coast and beyond, while still offering enough utility for weekend coastal cruising. In an era dominated by highvolume production trailersailers and heavy fullkeeled cruisers, the Rodgers 26 carved out a niche as a sophisticated, agile performer that prioritized speed, structural rigidity, and lightair efficiency.
