Wooden Ships Comments on this Kim Holman 26
The Holman 26 is another of the very successful small boat designs to have been penned by Kim Holman and has notable similarities to the Stella and the larger Sterling. They have a reputation for seaworthiness and capability above and beyond their small size.
The previous owner bought the boat in 2014 and was immediately given to the yard to start a refit. The interior joinery was removed, the boat lifted off her keel and all throat bolts and keel bolts replaced, as well as repairing all the cracked frames and replacing all garboard screws. A detailed list of the work done between 2014-2018 is available.
Since that first intensive period of refit she has been steadily improved and upgraded, both in terms of her cosmetics, gear and structural integrity. This has included new sails, standing and running rigging, new caulking in places, alterations to the joinery and a complete strip back and repaint.
She is a very nice example of this popular small cruising boat and is ready to sail this summer.
