Construction
| Construction | GRP |

| Underwater profile | Fin |
| Finish | Gelcoat finish |
Etap claim a unique double-skinned structure, rendering the yacht "unsinkable" as certified by the French Merchant Marine no less. Ah bon!
Hull and rudder have Coppercoat from new.
Accommodation
| Total # of berths | 6 |
|---|---|
| No. of double berths | 2 |
| No. of single berths | 2 |
| Cabin(s) | 2 |
| Handbasin | 1 |
| Heads | 1 heads (Sea Toilet) |
The manufacturers claim the 26i is a 6 berth, but I would suggest four is more realistic. Indeed she can sleep four very comfortably.
Webasto cabin heating is fitted, just the one outlet but it is plenty to get the cabin nice and toasty.
The heads are large for this size of boat, with an enormous locker in the after bulkhead. Headroom is good. The galley is well laid out, the cooker looks brand new and the fridge is as clean as a whistle - good size as well.
She still carries her original Etap glasses and crockery, would you believe.
2 burner gas cooker/stove

The side decks are very wide for a yacht of this size, and the non-slip looks very effective.
The mainsheet track is removable, so if you are just cruising you can secure the sheet to a fitting on the cockpit sole, giving more room in the cockpit for beer and skittles.

Broker's Comments
What a seriously well thought out yacht this is! I have sold Etap yachts in the past, but it is rare to come across an Etap 26i for sale in this country. I think that is a shame, because for build quality and great design I think you’ll find this boat hard to beat. She has bags of room down below, and manages to pull off the trick of feeling safe and cosy AND bright and airy at the same time. I was amazed by the quality and finish of the woodwork and all the fittings, and it all looks as though she came off the stocks yesterday. In fact she has only sailed 780 NM since new, and there are less than 200 hours on the engine – which looks, by the way, as though it has never been started! I see many boats, as you can imagine, and I promise you that you’ll have to go a long way to find a cleaner, brighter, chirpier 26 footer than this little beauty.
So can she sail? Yes she can! She slips along very nicely – the owner claims some startling speeds – phone me and I’ll tell you what she has done under white sails. She is an ideal short-hander – all lines led aft, single line reefing, and of course a self-tacking jib. She carries a Crusader Magic Furl cruising chute for down-hill work. Never heard of the Magic Furl? Yes you’ve guessed it – ring me and I’ll tell you!
