Mac 26C refers to both of the 26 nonpowersalors, 26S & 26D. S has a centerboard, that some call a "swing keel" and the D has Dagger board.

Ok...... so a "26C" denotes any Mac 26 built between 1986 and 1995? As I understand it, Ds were built between 1986 - 1989 and Ss built between 1990 -1995. So "C" refers to them all?

Yes, the "C" stands for "Classic", the D's and S's.

As I have gathered here.
