We are land locked, so its occaisional over nights, but mostly day sailing for our family. I like the E26 for its inboard and it gives a bit of cruiser feel (keeps me dreaming). The 25+ to me seems more sleek and agile and better caters to the race side of me. Any input on these little boats is welcome! Our current boat is a Catalina 22 (love it but its time to move on...). We are looking for somethig a little bigger, a little more comfy and better when the weather picks up! Major differences in the two E's? They share the same LOA, beam and draft. Thanks!
