There’s something almost perfect about boats that combine modern hull design and materials with classic styling, if I had to show someone a single picture to explain what I mean by that, I’d show them the image above.
This is the Delta 26 Open, a new design from Scandinavian based Delta Powerboats. It comes with the option of either a 220hp diesel with a top speed of 38 knots, or a 370hp diesel with a top speed of 47 knots, an effective range of 200 nautical miles, a fuel capacity of 220 litres, a below deck toilet and a below deck double bedroom.
From a design perspective the Delta 26 Open has an almost Starck feel to it, the straight-cut bow, teak decks and exceedingly clean design will never go out of style in much the same way that the martini glass will never go out of style.
