Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The first 69 boats were built by Hinterhoeller (after George Hinterhoeller had left C&C and re-established his own company). Later boats were built under license by Goman Boat, and then Halman Manufacturing, all Canadian firms.

Review of Niagara 26

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat is equipped with 53.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

The Niagara 26 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.35 - 1.45 meter (4.43 - 4.73 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Niagara 26 is 2.10, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.4 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Niagara 26 is about 119 kg/cm, alternatively 668 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 119 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 668 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 20m 2 (215 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

The Niagara 26 is a 26.67ft fractional sloop designed by George Hinterhoeller and built in fiberglass by Hinterhoeller Yachts Ltd. since 1975.

170 units have been built..

The Niagara 26 is a light sailboat which is a high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.

A hidden treasure.

This question is one we all hear over and over: "I like to race but spend a lot of time sailing to and from races and also on weekends. I like a little more room to live on board than a Kirby or J24 and 27 offers. I have a limited budget too, the boat has to be around $15,000 Can., and price is a major consideration. I still want it fast, so what kind of boat should I chose?"

A hidden treasure!

Niagara 26 Regatta

For years, many have pondered this question and no single answer has come up. Well, I'm confident enough about the Niagara 26 that I dare propose it as the answer.

garvock, a Niagara Sailboat Owner Page member and Niagara owner wrote:

"Well the name of one boat Kept coming up all the time, the Niagara 26. I travelled to Meaford to see "Wind Warrior" and found out that it was the club champion. I travelled to Thornbury and talked to the owner of "Slip stream" the club champion there. I travelled to Barrie and began to crew with "Babe" the club champion there. In the end I purchased a Niagara 26 with a partner and liked it so much I purchased another one on my own. We took first place in the high rating white sails division at the Meaburywood Regatta in our first year. We were third in the Georgian Bay Regatta (which was won by Slip Stream) as well."

In 1975, George Hinterhoeller of Niagara on the Lake Ontario Canada, the designer of the immensely popular Shark daysailer, wanted an affordable, overnight cruisable yet fast sailboat. His design became the Niagara 26. 170 boats were built in all.

The Niagara 26 sails like a racing boat. It is a sparkling all round performer, taking the often light airs with aplomb, yet rugged enough to over come gale conditions without concern. The boat is comfy enough that at the cruise end, it's tough to return to the working world.

This George Hinterhoeller design has very good upwind performance which leaves her contemporaries far behind. Sail adjustments abound but can be used or ignored at the discretion of the skipper. The Niagara 26 is a fractional rig and has adjustable backstay, cunningham, outhaul, pole up, pole down and 4 halyards all led aft to cabin. There are 4 winches with jam cleats beside each and a mainsheet traveller that crosses the cockpit. Sail inventory is typically #1,#3, main and spinnaker. All of the adjustments make this a great boat for "wanna be" racers or true racers but most can be ignored if a sensible sail plan is used on a comfortable day sail. With the sails control you can easily de-power the mainsail and keep it full for better downwind legs in up to 35 knots of wind. The boat can handle the extra sail area. Cruising mode welcomes reefing when you don't have crew sitting on the rail and you don't want your chips and peanuts falling overboard.  

The cockpit has two large lockers under the cockpit seats and has a large lazarette locker under a "poop" deck. This locker has a cutout in the transom for outboard motor mount much like the Shark although some boats came with saildrive inboard, making them a bit slower. The interior has 5'5" headroom in galley tapering to 5'2" in head. There are two layouts. The first few boats have a table that folds down from the bulkhead in between two single settee berths while the more common layout has a starboard single settee berth and a port dinette that transforms in a double berth. You will find the usual cruising setup; galley with sink, cooler, stove, hanging locker. Teak/holly sole and teak bulkhead with a door leading to head area. There is a lot of teak especially in the first few boats. Through another bulkhead is the v-berth with a 10 gal water tank beneath. All you need for your typical family of four.

For nigh on 20 years, Don Campbell of Niagara on the Lake Sailing Club and owner of Counterpoint Hull #6 (now named Wotan and raced at CNDM) has trailered his Niagara to Florida each winter, cruised the Bahamas, then trailered to Georgian Bay each summer.

Three builders ultimately became involved with the Niagara 26.  Hinterhoeller's Niagara boat works built the first 69 boats, then Goman in Midland Ontario built some and final Halman in Goderich built the later boats. On the question of the differences between the three manufacturers. Rumours say, Niagara Yachts and Goman are almost the same in quality of construction and speed. Halman changed a few things. For instance you can tell that the spreaders are not swept back on a Halman Niagara 26. This is an advantage (some say) running dead down wind, but going up wind it does not point as well. Halman also put more Fiberglass in their boats which increased the weight by a few hundred pounds. The quality of the workmanship in the Halman hulls has been questioned, with (supposedly) more leaking and screws protruding through the hull.

The Niagara 26 c ompetes in PHRF-2 with a respectable handicap (for the outboard motor with spinnaker) of 0.996 T/T and 183 T/D. Montreal has a growing fleet with 18 SLVYRA rated sailboats on the Handicap list, four of them club racing bi-weekly at the CNDM. Niagaras have consistently placed at the top of their Class at Husdon's Labour Day Regatta.

Conclusion: "Great boat for someone who aspires to be a racer but is really a cruiser. "

George passed away in 1999, but his legacy lives on. There are 75 known Niagara 26's still sailing and possibly more - mostly in the Georgian Bay, in Halifax and in the Montreal area but also around Canada and the US Northeast.

Niagara 26 - cored or solid hull?

  • Add to quote

Was the Niagara 26 built with a cored or solid hull?  

Don't know, but you can tell if you look at the interior of the full. You can see where the cored and non-cored parts of the hull meet, for example near thru-hulls.  

niagara 26 sailboat

I've only surveyed one 26'. The topsides from the waterline up were balsa cored. Bottom was solid glass.

Thanks all. The boat was quite neglected, so I decided not to pursue it.  

Really well built and well designed boats. For Hinterhoeller it was a full-on cruising version of his Shark 24. Just a lot roomier. We sailed one a lot - racing and cruising - for a decade. Fast and comfortable. Matter of fact our former boat is for sale now in PDX. Easy to single hand, as well. The hulls are all solid layup and the hull-to-deck joint is a thru-bolted overlap. No leaks. The lead keel is bolted onto a substantial reinforcement in the molded in sump. The transom mounted rudder is semi balanced and the boat drives to weather with a feather touch. If the wind dies it will motor all day @ 6 kts with a ten hp Yamaha OB. Burns 1/2 gallon / hour. Loren

Depth sounder for Niagara 26

  • Thread starter George Jarvis

George Jarvis

The depth sounder in my newly purchased Niagara 26 has long given up the ghost. The brand is no longer manufactured and a replacement is not available. It had a thru hull transducer and round, cockpit bulkhead mounting. Any recommendation for a replacement? Would a transom mounted transducer work? Would the adjacent motor cause any problems? Would love opinions. Thanks.

I believe all transducers are now inside-hull mounted wherever possible. Cored hulls are out of luck.

Before you rip out the transducer, they are often cross-brand compatible.. I once put an early 2000s Raymarine head on a decades old Signet transducer, and it worked much better than the original (tripled the range) without needing to haul.  

The Niagara 26 is a nice boat with a good pedigree. Enjoy it. A transom mount transducer won't be reliable. The issue will be keeping the transducer in the water when the boat heels. I doubt the boat has a balsa cored hull. This means you can use an in hull transducer that shoots through the hull, so no drilling necessary. You may also find that many of the modern transducers have speed, depth, and temperature sensors in one unit. Since the instruments are old it may be worth while to replace all of them with a new display and transducer. Contemporary instruments from RayMarine, B&G, and Garmin are NMEA 2000 compatible which will allow them to network with a chart plotter if you add a chart plotter at some time. From time to time Defender and other outlets will offer refurbished devices for less money than new. Or wait for the Spring Boat Show specials.

We cruised and raced N-26 #80, for a decade. Solid layup hull. I glued the DS transducer to the inside of the hull, under the cockpit. Never a problem. That said, the thickness of the layup does slightly reduce the depth from which you can get a sharp return. It was dependable up to about 120 feet, and one time up in the Straits of Juan DeFuca it did get a reading in over 400', albeit from a flat rock bottom. Great great boat. Well built, very fast, and very easy to sail. Nice interior for a couple for cruising, as well.  

We have hull #58, built in 1980. I can't remember the make of the old sounder and Annie"s Song is covered for the winter. I believe the instruments were the original ones from 1980. I will have a look at a through the hull system.  

If the plan is to resurrect the old DS, it is important to know the difference between really old DS and contemporary ones. The ancient depth sounder transducers relied on the instrument head to send a ping out the transducer and the transducer to receive the echo and send that to the instrument head. Essentially the transducer was nothing more than a speaker and a microphone. The cable connecting the transducer to the head was a coaxial cable that was not easily spliced or modified. Later models had the all of the electronics housed in the transducer and the data was sent back over a network cable, NMEA 0183 or a proprietary equivalent. The display was mostly an interface to the electronics in the transducer. The next generation was essentially the same but used the more recent NMEA 2000 protocol (which is now about 25 years old). There are now 2 broad categories, the old depth only transducers and forward scanning sonar transducers which are not interchangeable. The sonar units use ethernet to transmit the data which is processed by a chartplotter. The sonar transducers use a proprietary protocol. I'm not aware of any devices that can take the very old, before NMEA 0183 data and change it to something that can be displayed by modern displays. There are devices that can change 0183 data to 2000 data. If the instruments are original, it is unlikely that you will be able to just swap the transducer or display with newer with success.
