The SJ 7.7 and the SJ26 are different boats. The 7.7 frac is a fixed keel boat while the 26 is a different hull with a swing keel. From the link above the 26 came along in '75 but was replaced in '79 by the "racier" & prettier 7.7.

The 26 is a boxier looking boat, not in the same league as her SJ sisters, and slower than the 21.
