blu26 - Sportboat


A vision to create the perfect competition boat in Switzerland has been realised with the blu26. It is a boat that inspires passion in professional sailors, Match Racers and leisure sailors alike. A powerful combination of sporting performance and good looks, this is a boat designed by sailors for sailors.

For professional sailor Christian “Blumi” Scherrer, the concept behind the blu26 was to produce a boat that was both fun to sail and competitive. In collaboration with yachtdesigner Christian Bolinger, a sophisticated deck layout and a timeless, elegant design evolved. The blu26’s high speed potential and agility are not only impressive when sailing competitively fully crewed, but equally when sailing short-handed just for fun. The balanced feel of the blu26 instills confidence across a wide range of conditions.


With its narrow beam and easy lifting rudder and keel system, road transportation is simple and safe. Once on the water, the blu26’s solid construction and integral buoyancy give a great sense of security.

Her all-round sailing abilities and low through-life cost make the blu26 ideal for use in schools, events and Match Racing. Indeed, the St Moritz Match Race, part of the World Match Racing Tour, will be using the blu26. For one week every year, the best Match Racers in the world will compete on board blu26 boats.
