Description
The Sadler 26 is a well-proven design with good accommodation and sea kindly performance, which with the double skinned construction makes them warm, dry and unsinkable! "Silver Pearl" has been well maintained by her current owner who has not had the time to use her recently, hence the reason for sale. Recent improvements include a new engine in 2021 and new standing rigging in 2022.

Construction
Sadler 26 moulded in 1983 by Sadler Yachts and fitted out to an excellent standard by her first owner and first launched in 1988. White GRP hull and coachroof and moulded non-slip decks. Double skin, foam-filled construction enabled the Sadler 26 to be marketed as "unsinkable", and also provides both sound and temperature insulation. Sadler red/blue cavita line. Teak rubbing strake. Cast iron fin keel. Tiller steering with tiller extension and lock to transom hung rudder supported by full-length skeg. The underwater part of the hull was epoxied in 2002 as a preventative measure. Self-draining aft cockpit. Teak washboards.
