Leisure 26

The Association has very little information about the Leisure 26.

Built from the same moulds and virtually identical to the well known Oyster 26. The main difference between the Leisure and the Oyster is the rig, which was 7/8 on the Oyster, but is 3/4 on the Leisure.

We know that very few were built, possibly only one or two. If you have further information about this yacht, please contact the Association Administrator
