The Colvic Sailer 26 hulls were moulded by Colvic Ltd., and sold in quite large numbers both to professional boatyards and to home completers for fitting out. One of the major builders using these hulls was Atlanta, who sold the resulting boat as the Atlanta 26.
The hulls have twin bilge keels moulded in as an integral part of the hull, with internal encapsulated ballast. These keels are near vertical, unlike the angled-out bolt-on iron keels found on yachts such as the Westerly Centaur. This made moulding easier but is less efficient under sail.
The saloon usually has the galley and a quarter berth to starboard, and a long settee berth with fold-out table to port. This one was unusual and the other way round. Saloon headroom is about 5' 8". As many boats were home completed to individual ideas, you will often find alternative layouts.
