The New Horizons 26 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser and first built in 1958.
[1][3][4] The boat was the first Sparkman & Stephens production design especially for construction in fiberglass, which was then a new material for boatbuilding.
It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, an angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed, stub, modified long keel, the retractable centerboard.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two quarter berths under the cockpit.
When the larger but similar-looking Tartan 27, another S&S design, was introduced in 1961 (3 years after the New Horizons) for nearby Tartan (then known as Douglass & McLeod, in Grand River, OH), it quickly diverted customer interest from the Ray Greene boat, much to Greene's disgust.
