I have raced against corby mailto:25@s - 25@s at Cork and they looked pretty good.I was considering the new Corby 26 but there is very little info on them around.I heard only one has been made which went to Sligo but other boats ordered last winter have not been delivered. Is there a production problem?

There was a long thread on Sailing Anarchy about the 26. I think the delay in getting them built was a result of problems with 33s which had a knock on effect on the 26s that were due to be built after. There's a 29 at our club that's very quick (well, when their prop isn't stuck anyway....).

Hi Donal, yes there have been some problems with our production and both
our new IRC 26 and IRC 33 have been late due to this... please send me an
email to fredrik@microspan.se and I will get more information over to you.

Yes philit, this is true, we will have the whole range of our production boats
up there, IRC 26, IRC 29 and IRC 33, there will also be an older Corby 25, so
if you are interested you should get up there to test! (IRC 26 hull #4)
