- Stock #[removed phone] - Impressive 2006 MacGregor 26M Cruiser2006 MacGregor 26M, a great sailing vessel. Makes for a wonderful day sailer, or great for weekend get-aways.For its size, the new 26M is also quite roomy below and has the amenities necessary for weekend cruising by a couple or small family:-Queen size aft berth and Vee berth-Enclosed Port Potty area-6 feet of headroom under hatch-Oversized water tank-Upgraded batteriesThe Rocna anchor, chain and roller are great upgrades.Here is a great review for those new to the MacGregor 26M:MacGregor's mast-raising system makes it easy for one person to rig the boat in the parking lot beside the launch ramp. The boat sails well under just the mainsail when it's breezy, and the optional roller-furler makes it easy to get the jib out without leaving the cockpit. Critics have argued that a boat that looks like a powerboat can't sail very well, but I was surprised to find that it accelerates fast, tracks reasonably well, and is easy to control with the dual rudders. It is more tender than most sailboats with a deeper weighted keel, and you might feel at first that it could capsize easily when the wind blows hard--but that risk is probably no greater than with any trailerable. Always use common sense to reef or furl the sails when a storm threatens, and never be caught very far offshore.MacGregor has kept the price of the 26M down by avoiding frills without sacrificing things that help a boat sail well. The mainsheet traveler, seldom found in trailer-sailors, helps the boat sail higher into the wind. The jib fairlead tracks, also rare in a boat like this, allow for better adjustment of the shape of the jib, which is critical with a furling jib or when changing from one jib to another.The hull is designed for fast motoring, of course, and this does make the boat feel less stable than a keelboat when waves kick up. The shallow draft combined with high freeboard, necessary to provide all that room down below, also means the 26M has a lot of windage and is blown sideways more than most sailboats its size. But when in a hurry, just drop the sails and power up.Please submit any and ALL offers - your offer may be accepted!
