T26 was entered into the 1950 One of a Kind Series and placed 21st.[1]
The vessel could reach faster than all other boats on days with moderate to heavy wind, attaining speeds of up to 15 knots (equivalent to 27.78 km (17.26 mi) per hour), but could not go to weather even as well as monohull vessels.[1] The design was enhanced for Tchetchet's subsequent vessel Egg Nog.[1]
