Storm 26: sporty small cruiser with lifting keel
The Storm 26 offers high build quality and good sailing characteristics. However, the small cruiser is not quite cheap. Download the test in PDF format

The Storm 26 is the Polish shipyard's largest boat to date. With very little wind, we went for a test sail on the Steinhuder Meer. And lo and behold, the small cruiser sailed well even in light wind conditions. With a gennaker, it was even really fun to sail despite the almost flat calm. At 7.94 metres long and 2.55 metres wide, the Storm can still be trailered without a special permit. Thanks to the lifting keel as a standard attachment, she is easy to slip.
