- Stock #[removed phone] - Ready to go, comes with trailer!!!!MacGREGOR yachts began building boats in the early 1960's. The company business model was conceived by a group of graduate students at the Stanford School of Business. MacGregor invented an adaptation of the retracting keel and energized the trailerable sailboat market. Sailboats with fixed keels can be more difficult to tow and nearly impossible to launch at most boat ramps (the protruding keel puts the hull in the air that the tow vehicle could easily be submerged before the boat found enough depth to float free of the trailer). With a retractable keel, a trailerable sailboat sits low on the trailer and launches as easily as a small runabout.When MacGregor first begun building trailerable boats, families commonly owner a rear-wheeled drive, body on frame, V8 automobile with substantial towing abilities. As car shifted to front wheel drive and lower horsepower engines, MacGregor recognized a need to reduce the weight of their vessels to facilitate safe towing. The innovative solution was MacGregor's water ballast system. The weight can be literally drained away when running in powerboat mode, making it easier to haul the MacGregor onto a trailer.MacGregor 26 is constructed of hand-laminated fiberglass, without the use of chop strand or "coring." The dry weight of the empty boat is 2,550 pounds, and the beam is 7'9" to permit easy trailering. (The trailer weighs another 710 pounds). The general style above the waterline is reminiscent of a small sloop, but there is a broad, flat transom with an engine well that accommodates up to 70-hp outboard motors. With the daggerboard and rudders in the "up" positions, the MacGregor is a planning hull, with a mere 12-inch draft. The cockpit will easily seat four to six, with a pedestal mounted steering wheel and engine controls. Side decks are nonexistent, with access between the foredeck and the cockpit routed across the cabin top. Fortunately, Blue Water Yachts rigs their boats for easy single-handed sailing from the cockpit. The roller-furled jib also reduces the need to go forward when underway. The MacGregor 26 interior provides all the basic amenities of a family cruiser. An extremely roomy double berth is most aft, under the cockpit. Just forward, to starboard, is a dinette that will seat four. MacGregor incorporates a unique "sliding galley" mounted to port. The galley locks into three different positions. When slid forward, it is opposite the dinette and there is well over six feet of standing headroom available for the cook. In the middle position, the alcohol stove and sink can be used with ease, and the additional seating space is created on the port side of the main cabin. With the galley secured most aft, it is entirely under the cockpit but there is still plenty of room to sleep in the aft birth, and sliding the galley all the way aft creates an additional single bunk on the port side of the main cabin. Two can sleep in the forepeak, and the dinette folds down into a single berth over seven feet long. One could sleep six adults on a MacGregor 26,Please submit any and ALL offers - your offer may be accepted!
