I owned one some years ago...

Fantastic sailing boat. Well balanced. Will sail hands free, set the sails let go of the tiller and she will stay on track. Slices through waves like she is on rails.

You will love sailing her

Enjoy

My Eliza isn't as pristine as yours, but come the Spring!

Is that Eliza?
Very nice, I had the same hull colour.
BTW, that looks like the IF boat to me. The 26 had a longer and higher coachroof + higher topsides on the same hull. No matter, you will love it.
There is no shame in pushing the boat out of that berth and hopping on at the last minute. The outboard (if that is what you have) will do nowt in reverse.

There is some argument, so she may be an IF. There is a inboard diesel, but also a well and plug for an outboard! The sitting headroom is 4' 8" so my guess is an IF?

Yes, she is an IF.
I was being a bit coy. The 26 has three ports each side.
The well is very useful, if the engine gives trouble a dinghy outboard will push the boat along nicely, in flat water.

You are right, I have found out that the cockpit goes back further and so lacks a lazaret on the Marieholm 26.
Eliza has one and so, with two ports per side, is an IF
