Trailer
it Anywhere
The MacGregor 26 is one of the fastest and best handling of the
trailer-able cruising sailboats. It is easy to sail, and easy to
trailer to your favourite sailing waters. You don’t need an
expensive mooring. It can be stored on its trailer, launched at any
ramp, and rigged in just minutes.
On the trailer at highway speed, you can visit great places that
water-bound boats will never see, and you can avoid the expense of
in the water storage.
High Speed Power Boat
The MacGregor 26 offers high speed powering without compromising
sailing performance. You can have the peace and quiet of sailing, or
the fun of powering around at a good clip--over 22 mph. Unlike any
other boat, it opens up a world of endless variety--sailing,
swimming, fishing, diving, water skiing or just fooling around on
the water. Its high speed under power lets you get to cruising
waters that are out of reach for a conventional six mph sailboat.
The MacGregor 26 is our personal favorite -
because of the pure simplicity and
the accompanying reduced maintenance costs.
Live Aboard
You can live on this boat on land or on the water. Launch the
boat, anchor in a quiet cove, and you can be as far away from
the world as you want to be. You can have your own island, for
free, at some of the most beautiful vacation areas on earth.
Unlike land bound recreation vehicles, you will not be limited
to crowded and expensive RV parks. You will never tire of the
wonderful sensation of shutting off the engine and enjoying the
quiet serenity of moving along under sail
