Authorized Dealer - MacGregor Yachts 

This 26-foot sloop truly is a unique and intelligent pleasurecraft. The versatility of having a water ballast that can be filled or discharged on the fly makes this boat nothing short of a marvel.  With a full ballast, it has the stability of a deep-keel sailboat.  With a 50-horsepower outboard, it climbs on top of the water and planes like a cabin cruiser.  The cabin is surely the most accommodating of any 26-footer - it has standing headroom for most people.  Launching and trailering are also a breeze.  As noted in the manufacturer’s literature, you only need about 26 inches of water at the ramp to launch or haul out. The optional mast raising system eliminates the need for strong muscles when raising or lowering the mast.

A complete MacGregor 26 sail-away package is available from

• MacGregor trailer with surge brakes
• Mast raising system

With this package, you can pick the boat up in the afternoon and be sailing in the afternoon. Other options can be added to enhance your sailing experience, including sailing instruments, radios, shore power, spinnaker, among others. We can customize your new yacht to exactly the way you want it. You cannot find another trailerable sailboat at any price that will allow you to sail fast, and motor even faster. When the kids get cranky, or when the weather takes a turn for the worse, you can head back to the dock at 22 knots instead of the 4 or 5 knots you can expect with a conventional sailboat.
