Sedna 26 review – the trailable cruiser that thinks big

• February 20, 2018

Easy trailing, respectable performance, cavernous accommodation and a budget price – just how does the Polish-built Sedna 26 do it? David Harding climbs aboard to find out

Yacht design can be a challenging business, and nowhere is the balance between space, pace and safety harder to achieve than in the larger trailable sailers.

These boats have to be light enough to trail, launch and recover, roomy enough for a couple – or perhaps a young family – to live aboard for a week, and sufficiently robust to survive bouncing around on a trailer. Their owners might expect to be able to hop along the coast and probably will demand comforts that buyers of yesteryear wouldn’t have considered.

Back in the day, boats of this size that could be trailed included the Super Seal 26, the Evolution 25 and 26 and Trapper’s TS240. These were most definitely not trailer-sailers , however: only the seriously dedicated would hitch up and head off for less than a week’s sailing.

Then things changed. Along came the Macgregor 26 in its various incarnations, not only making a 26-footer a genuine trailer-sailer (British driveways, roads and slipways permitting) but also allowing the owners of later versions to motor as fast as a planing powerboat provided they had a suitably large outboard on the transom.

Other power-sailers followed, such as the Odin 26, Imexus 27, Legend Edge 27 and Tide 28 before the breed quietly disappeared. Is it likely to reappear? Watch this space.

A different approach was adopted recently by Swallow Yachts’ BayCruiser 26. While she uses water ballast to reduce her trailing weight, as did many of the power-sailers, she’s a far more capable and powerful sailing yacht than most of them. However, her introduction still leaves a gap for a simpler and less expensive trailable sailer of similar size for the less ambitious owner.

That gap, not surprisingly, has been filled by a new offering from Poland: the Sedna 26.

Poles apart

If any nation is keen on trailer-sailers and trailable yachts, it’s Poland. Go to a Polish boat show – or to Dusseldorf in January – and you will see stacks of such boats that never make it to our shores. Parts of north-east Poland are more lake than land and the country’s boating industry has taken full advantage.

But, as we have observed before when testing imports, conditions on a sheltered European lake generally bear little relation to those encountered off the coast of Britain. That’s one reason why we’re seeing fewer Polish offerings than we once did.

None of this stops established distributors seeking out Polish designs they consider promising, which is what Edge-Water Marine has done with the Viko and Sedna ranges. I tested the Viko 21 last year (see PBO April 2017), so when a Sedna 26 became available we thought I should put her through her paces.

Like the Viko, the Sedna is an enormous boat for her length (which is 25ft, or 7.65m before you count the rudder). At 9ft 4in (2.85m), her beam is generous but not extreme by modern standards. It’s greatest only a few feet forward of the transom, giving her an almost delta-shaped plan view – like just the forward half of a 35-footer from a few years ago.

In profile she could also pass for the chopped-off bow of a boat 10 or 15ft longer by virtue of her towering topsides: she has a serious amount of freeboard, to the extent that anyone who’s not reasonably nimble or long-legged will probably want to use a fender step to climb aboard from a pontoon unless she’s berthed stern to. From a tender you would be looking at the north face of the Eiger. It might even be snowing on deck.

The pay-off, of course, is headroom and internal volume on a scale that those accustomed to more traditional designs of this length might find hard to imagine. We will be going down the hatch a little later. For now, suffice it to say that beam at the waterline as well as at deck level plays a major role in determining the amount of space inside the hull. And since those towering topsides are not far off vertical, her waterplane is pretty broad.

Let’s look more closely at what we can expect from the Sedna. We know she’s high and fairly wide, on which basis you might imagine she’s not particularly fast. Yet she has a fine entry and a long waterline in relation to her displacement of a modest 4,400lb (2,000kg). The result is a displacement/length ratio of 143, confirming that she’s light for her length. She also has a rig that, while far from large, gives a sail area/displacement ratio of just under 19 – respectable for a cruiser.

Looked at together, the numbers suggest that she shouldn’t hang around given some breeze, particularly since the underwater sections look reasonably slippery.

What’s more, her profiled centreplate takes her draught to no less than 5ft 6in (1.67m). Most of the ballast is internal, keeping the plate light enough for easy lifting, though at 42% the ballast ratio is still higher than you might expect on a boat like this.

Does it all add up to a formula for both space and pace? Let’s find out.

Sailing a Sedna

We couldn’t have asked for a better breeze to see what the Sedna could do: a northerly 15-20 knots was blowing down Chichester Harbour’s Emsworth Channel, kicking up a modest chop against the flood tide. As this was the most wind in which the boat had ventured out, we erred on the side of caution and tucked in the first reef before leaving the pontoon. I had yet to sail a Polish trailer-sailer capable of carrying its full rig in such conditions.

Under our reduced sail plan we found life more than comfortable, though reefing did reveal something. Inside the stack pack, the mainsail had a bolt rope rather than being loose-footed. This was fine, if unexpected, but as there was no slot in the foot to allow the reefing pennant to pass under the boom it had to be made fast to an eyelet riveted to the boom’s top. I would reach for a hot knife (or take the sail to a sailmaker for a proper job) at the first opportunity.

Once we had knocked the sail into the best shape we could, the boat took the conditions in her stride so easily that we shook out the reef. Then we flattened the main as far as possible with the limited tools at our disposal and set about seeing what the Sedna could really do.

What she did was to sail far better than I had expected. That iron and concrete in the bilges really made its presence felt and she was far stiffer and more powerful a performer than most of her compatriots have proved to be.

To be fair, she had everything in her favour: a brand new boat with a well-set-up rig, sails that have hardly been used, a clean bottom and no gear on board or propeller dragging through the water has every opportunity to give a good account of herself. And the Sedna did just that. Also in her favour was the right amount of breeze (I would be interested to see how she goes in light conditions) and relatively flat water.

In short, she had no excuses and didn’t need any. She could be feathered and de-powered through the gusts to stay on her feet while making good speed to windward: across the tide the GPS recorded a consistent 5.6 knots and even up to 6 knots at times. Wondering whether my GPS was having a dizzy spell, I checked it against one on a phone and got the same reading.

Another big plus is the helming position. Whereas many designers make the cockpit as wide as possible, common sense has prevailed here: the coamings are well inboard of the gunwale allowing the side decks to extend all the way to the transom. The big benefit under way is that you can helm from the high and comfortably rounded coamings and lean back against the webbing that runs from the aftermost stanchion to the stern rail.

Balance of both boat and helm seemed good, though stiff rudder bearings would have tended to mask any untoward tendencies. Just make sure the hinge-up rudder is fully down when you’re sailing: there’s no purchase on the downhaul, so it needs to be properly tight. The blade gripped well, only letting go if the boat was sailed too deep in a gust and allowed to heel well beyond a comfortable angle. Inevitably the beam and the flat-sectioned hull meant that neither centreplate nor rudder was being much use by then.

Good behaviour

Unless provoked like this she showed remarkable tolerance and obedience for a boat of her type, as well as being surprisingly fast and rewarding to sail. She hove to as comfortably as you would expect given her mainsail-driven rig, and had to be pinched mercilessly before the foils would stall. There was no clonking from the centreplate downwind and she felt far more taut and responsive than many budget cruisers.

Perhaps her weakest area is in the rig. It has to be light and simple for easy raising and lowering and, to this end, it comes with a system designed for single-handed use that looks similar to those seen on other Polish trailable sailers.

The rig’s budget nature shows in several areas, not least in the headsail halyard that comes back down the headfoil rather than down the mast, making it impossible to achieve enough luff tension. We tried our best. Neither did the reasonable amount of rig tension stop the forestay sagging more than we would have wanted.

On top of this the sails, while not a bad cut, were made from a fabric that I would expect to last little more than a season of typical use before stretching noticeably. There would be scope for making improvements if you wanted to get the best from the boat.

These sort of things tend to go with the territory on Polish trailer-sailers but can make an appreciable difference if you find yourself having to beat home against 20 knots of wind and a seaway, when the outboard on its transom bracket might be of limited use.

You will need to get used to handling the outboard in close-quarters manoeuvres, too. When you’re working the throttle and gear lever from the transom step (there’s no remote control) it’s not easy to steer and see where you’re going at the same time. That said, we had to turn around in a confined space with a fresh breeze and it was perfectly manageable. An electric outboard in a well with controls in the cockpit is now an option that should make life easier.

While we’re at this end of the boat, it’s worth mentioning the good-sized locker under the cockpit sole and two more of half depth beneath the seats. The mainsheet shackles to (and easily unshackles from) a stainless steel strong-point that doubles as a support for the cockpit table stowed in the stern locker.

Nothing else stands out on deck. There’s an anchor locker in the bow, the stainless steel-work is neat and robust and a teak toe-rail gives your feet a fighting chance of staying on the boat if you venture forward.

Accommodation

The Sedna truly is cavernous down below. Headroom is over 6ft (1.83m) in the saloon and you have a double berth across the full width of the stern. There’s a separate heads compartment and a small galley, plus the often-deemed-essential pressurised water, fridge and shore-power sockets (the latter two on the options list).

The layout is open-plan, with just a partial bulkhead separating the saloon from the V-berth in the bow. It’s all about space down here and the construction is highly modular.

A full-length moulding forms the interior up to bunk level. Stowage is under most of the bunks, though some areas are simply inaccessible and others covered by plywood panels that are screwed down. We undid a fair few screws here and there to see what lay beneath: the answer was usually not a lot. Another moulding is overhead, through which it’s good to see that most of the deck fastenings are bolted.

The finish is generally acceptable. My chief concern, as is often the case when boats have such extensive inner mouldings, would be reaching the inside of the hull and some of the structural elements should you ever need to.

PBO’s verdict: Sedna 26

The Sedna 26 combines extraordinary internal volume with surprisingly good sailing performance and the benefits of a fully-retractable centreplate. She was conceived as a true trailer-sailer and it shows. The enormous volume and freeboard, open-plan layout and simple rig mean that she’s likely to feel more at home in relatively sheltered waters than beating round exposed headlands in brisk conditions.

Every boat is a compromise, but the Sedna looks like one that will probably suit a lot of people very nicely indeed.

Bernie Odin 820

Having been a Macgregor 26X owner for 4 years, I wanted to upgrade to a larger powersailer with more features. When the M series came out, it had less so I searched the web and came across the 28 foot Odin 820 powersailer. The sales person called it "the boat that women want". Of course my wife was present, after the 10 reasons why, we bought the boat instantly. Our feeling is, again after the Macgregor 26X, we have the best of both worlds and much more. It was an amazing upgrade. Now after 4 years, we are looking at upgrading again to the 30 foot Imexus 29 powersailer. It's called " the twofootitus syndrome. This will be our last move as the Imexus 29 has everything including an inside hot water shower. Keep in mind that our boat is our camper, sailboat, motorboat and cottage. My wife wants all the comforts of home. Well almost, but we enjoy our boat immensely and would be more then happy to answer any questions.  

Umm, cool story bro. Care to elaborate on what exactly these upgrades and extra features are, or was this just an advertisement/review of a boat that isn't a Macgregor?  

Aren't the Odin and Imexus the same boat only made by different manufacturers?

Not necessarily, you just didn't actually include any information in your post that would be of any value to anyone looking for something more than what their Mac might have. You gushed about how much you like your boat, but not why, and what is better. For example, what are the 10 reasons why it's the boat women want?

As with the 30' Ernest Shackelton , the 33' Freyja , the 44' Valhalla , the 55' Valkyrie , and the 66' Asgard designs, inspiration for this vessel was drawn from Viking craft, as well as from Coast Guard surf boats and Whaleboats, all of which were double ended in their original form for maximum seaworthiness. One whaleboat in particular, the James Caird was purpose-built for Ernest Shackelton to take along on the Antarctic voyage on which his ship Endurance was crushed by the ice. The whaleboat allowed Shackelton to sail from Elephant Island at the north end of the Antarctic Peninsula where his crew were marooned, to South Georgia Island where a whaling camp was known to exist, more than 800 miles distant. Shackelton's voyage in the whaleboat James Caird was one of the greatest sea voyages of all time. The 78' ODIN design shown here at 78 feet on deck (23.8 m) is much larger than the James Caird. But in keeping with the smaller 30' Ernest Shackelton design, a simple structure is used so that the vessel can be built economically. The goal has been to create an easy to build, affordable, easy to sail and easy to inhabit boat, but at the same time one that can be used in extreme seas in order to allow worldwide cruising in complete safety. Being a double ended boat there is perfect balance when heeled. In other words, unlike a transom stern boat on which the heeled centerline shifts to leeward at the stern, with a double ended boat the centerline stays on center when heeled. On a transom stern boat, when rolling the shift of the CL astern (but not at the bow) induces yaw, which results in difficult steering control. By contrast, the inherent balance provided by a double ended hull shape does not induce any added yaw, therefore providing greater steering stability, and much less weather helm under sail. Having a flush deck at each end provides the ultimate in seaworthiness. This is the same configuration used by the original Coast Guard life boats which were intended for rescue work in extreme conditions. The raised fore and aft decks provide the maximum reserve buoyancy in the ends, and add considerably to the righting moment in a knockdown. The cockpit being just aft of amidships offers the maximum protection from boarding seas. In all, the 78' ODIN is reminiscent of Herreshoff's 55' MARCO POLO. Though by comparison the Herreshoff design is much smaller and extremely narrow (only 10 feet!!).  In contrast the MARCO POLO is much deeper - a necessary consequence of having such narrow beam in order to carry her sail. Despite those differences, Herreshoff rightly selected the double ended hull form and "whale back" flush decks at each end for his own "most seaworthy" pelagic yacht design. Click for Larger Image The all aluminum structure planned for the 78' ODIN provides an extremely rugged hull as well as light weight, allowing the structure to be fully welded and completely water tight. At 78 feet on deck, headroom is able to be a full seven feet throughout. The keel is fairly low aspect, allowing safety when grounding - intentionally or otherwise - and expanding the cruising grounds considerably.  It is not necessary to have a centerboard, however it would be quite possible to arrange for one, or to have tandem centerboards for the ultimate in balance. Particulars are as follows: 72.7' WL Length (22.2 m) 18' Beam (5.5 m) 5.7' Draft  ( 1.73 m) allowing easy navigation anywhere outside the one fathom line. Target displacement is approximately 106,000 pounds light ( 48 m.t.) and 123,000 pounds loaded (56 m.t.). The Displacement to Length Ratio is 123 at the Reference WL, indicating an extremely light and easily driven hull. Sail area is planned to be 2,800 square feet (260 sq. m.).  Light weather sails could be provided, although they are hardly necessary given that the Sail Area to Displacement Ratio of 20, and SA to Wetted Surface Ratio of 2.2. Typical displacement hull speed is considered to be 11.5 knots for a vessel of this size purely as a function of the WL length, however due to the extremely light 123 D/L Ratio the 78' ODIN is expected to easily reach 16 knots under sail. Believe me, 50-some tons of boat blasting along at 16 knots under sail definitely * is * something to write home about...!!   78' Tern Schooner ODIN - Click for Larger Image Interior The framing is arranged in modules of 56 inches, which conveniently allows for flexibility with the interior layout. There are four aluminum bulkheads, one at each end of the center cockpit, enclosing the engine room below, and one at each end to enclose the forepeak and the lazarette / after peak. With four bulkheads and only eight frames, construction is made as simple as possible. The interior has been planned to allow two couples to live onboard in comfort, with their cabins as equal as possible. In addition, there are sleeping spaces for six guests using the two saloon pilot berths, the saloon settees, and the cockpit seats - in other words, sleeping for ten in all. Now, no one in their right mind would want to have that many onboard for more than a weekend camping adventure, but there is space for it..! The interior layout is identical to that of the 66' ASGARD, with the exception that there a much larger forepeak and lazarette provided.  This has the effect of also moving the end staterooms into a wider part of the vessel so that the head of the double berths at each end can be much wider.  The 66' ASGARD layout is shown below...   ASGARD 66 Interior Layout - Click for Larger Image   Following the drawing above, we observe two sleeping cabins, one located in each end. The two private suites are nearly identical at 14 feet in length for each. They include a head / shower compartment and writing desk / office / computer station. Just forward of the cockpit, the galley is located to port and spans a length of 9' - 4" arranged in an "L" shape. To starb'd of the galley there is a guest head forward, and a navigation station aft just forward of the cockpit bulkhead. This is probably the best use of the space to starb'd of the galley, especially on extended trips with guests in the pilot berths - thus providing comfortable accommodation for six on an extended voyage, with permanent accommodation for four to live aboard. At 9' - 4" in length, this space could also be used as a guest or kid's cabin, providing private accommodation for another couple or bunks for a couple of kids. Alternately it could become an office / project room. Actually it could be both... i.e. an office that can be converted into a guest cabin...! Just forward of the galley / guest head is the saloon, also 9' - 4" in length. The concept here is to have a settee / couch on each side, with a low coffee table in between. Outboard of the settees are a pair of fully enclosed pilot berths. Just forward of the pilot berths / settees are a pair of side-board cabinets, with cupboards above and outboard - perfect for glassware or possibly a wet bar to starb'd. The amidships cockpit is 9' - 4" in length. Arranged with a long settee / berth on each side, there is ample seating for everyone onboard. With a table on center that can be extended, it makes a good outdoor entertainment / dining area. It is also a functional cockpit, having a binnacle and wheel steering, with easy access to sheets and halyards. A canvas awning over the center cockpit area would be easy to arrange in order to provide shelter from rain and sun. Alternately, a hard dodger could be arranged for better shelter from the elements. Below the cockpit seats on each side are a pair of rather enormous storage lockers for deck gear, fenders, spare line, dock lines, and the like. Outboard of the seat-backs is a side deck - a convenient place to step aboard, and a good place to keep sheets and other lines from invading the cockpit itself.   ODIN 78 - Click for Larger Image   Mechanical Space Below the cockpit is a large engine room, having fuel tanks outboard and a bench seat along each side just inboard of the tank face. This makes engine maintenance easy from a seated position on both sides. The cockpit sole structure extends out to the side of the hull, and the large integral tanks are located below that continuous deck. Thus, the tanks extend from the cockpit sole to the hull bottom the full length between bulkheads outboard. The engine is planned to be a 6 cylinder John Deere 6068 TFM marine diesel with a standard reversing marine gear driving a Nogva pitch control Servo. A three blade Controllable Pitch Propeller is specified, allowing full feathering during sailing.   Rig A simple Bahamian Tern Schooner rig is shown. The spars are aluminum Schedule 40 pipe, which is considerably stronger than wood, and it does not rot!  Pipe has sufficient wall thickness to allow the fittings to be fully welded in place. This whole affair is very easy to build and there is far less maintenance than would be required for a wooden mast. The objective in general is to have the rig be as simple as possible, to have low stress in all components, and to have most of the sails be self-tending so there is no drama in tacking. The Bermuda rig as shown lends itself rather well to use of wishbone booms, which serve to keep the sails perfectly trimmed regardless of their angle to the wind. A wishbone is also conducive to the use of roller furling along the luff of both main and mizzen.     Stability The 78' ODIN is planned around being the maximum size vessel that can still be considered under the EU Recreational Craft Directive, i.e. under 24 meters LOA.  The ISO STIX score is therefore applicable.  The minimum score for all ocean travel is 32.  ODIN scores an extremely impressive 78..!  All IMO criteria are met with a generous margin.  The MCA Large Yacht stability criteria are also met by a wide margin, and the usual 'Squall Curves' show a highly remarkable 43.5 degree safe sailing angle (the intersection of the green heel arm curve with the blue GZ curve)...!   The blue curve is the righting arm curve (GZ curve), which reveals a range of positive stability to 142 degrees of heel, and minimal negative area, indicating that in any sea sufficient to cause a roll-over event, the vessel would slosh back upright rather quickly.   MCA & GZ Curve Plots - Click for Larger Image And in terms of sailing performance, the Dellenbaugh angle is plotted below:   78' ODIN Dellenbaugh Angle - Click for Larger Image.   This graph shows the approximate amount of heel to be expected in 15 knots of wind with all sail sheeted flat. Several opinions as to what is appropriate are plotted from a variety of sources.  Henry & Miller seem to have struck the middle ground (red curve).  With a WL length of just under 73 feet, the ODIN 78 comes in at 10 degrees of heel, which is slightly more stiff than would be expected of a vessel this size (the red line curve is the norm).  This is remarkable considering the sail area, and the very shallow draft.  It illustrates the benefit of keeping the aspect ratio of the rig within appropriate limits for ocean voyaging.  In other words, unlike the extremely narrow MARCO POLO, the ODIN 78 will not sail on her ear...!   The Concept Having been originally modeled after the very capable Viking craft somewhat in the vein of Shackelton's whaleboat, we have the makings of a truly pelagic vessel - one that perfectly illustrates my ideal Nomadic Watercraft .   Other Designs In This Series 30' Ernest Shackelton | 33' Freyja | 44' Valhalla | 55' Valkyrie | 66' Asgard | 78' Schooner ODIN Please see the  AVAILABLE BOAT PLANS web page.
