The Paceship PY 26 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by John Deknatel, president of C. Raymond Hunt Assoc.

[1][4][5] The design was initially built by Paceship Yachts of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada starting in 1974.

It has a masthead sloop rig with a keel-stepped mast, a raked stem, a near-vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.

"[5] In a paceship.org review Jay Moran concluded, "the PY 26 is quite large for its length, but the boat still sails very well, even in light air with a 150% genoa.

[11] In an owner review Tristan Nettles wrote, "all in all the PY26 is a strong and capable boat that needs 10 knots or more of breeze to really handle well.
