Roger, you have been incredibly helpful to us since we purchased a pre-owned MacGregor 26M a short time ago. My husband has called several times and you have been so generous with your time and your invaluable advice. Thank you for letting him know that the foam inside the mast should not be drilled through or removed! We'd received conflicting advice elsewhere, and he talked with you just in time. We are so excited to own this gorgeous boat, and have plans to share this blessing with a lot of folks who are unable to have a boat of their own. I hadn't seen this particular video before, but I plan to show it to my husband tomorrow first thing. Thanks you for designing such an amazing boat, and thank you for all the advice you have given. We didn't purchase the boat from you, yet you have treated my husband like a valued customer... or better yet, a friend. Thanks again.
As someone who is studying to be a marine biologist, I plan on using this kind of boat for light duty research. Because it's so versatile, I could use this boat to research anywhere from estuaries to the open ocean. I would carry up to 3 scientists, including myself, who would also be snorkelers/divers deployed from the boat. I would also carry and deploy, from this boat, a small ROV submarine like the OpenROV.
Loved description or the self righting feature: "Won't sail fast but, it beats swimming." at 4 min.
Never worked it out to buy one, but always admired them and convinced two others to buy them.
The video was made in 2009, do you notice that Macgregor still uses the same funky 80s music from the promo videos for the older Mac sailboats in this video?
I have a 26d. Very well built. Easy to sail. Lots of interior space. Overall I love my Macgregor.

What did you pay for your boat ⛵️
I guess this settles it. There's a beautifully maintained 26 on the market. Every boat is a compromise, but the Mac seems to check nearly all the boxes - good under sail or power, shallow draft, reasonably easy to trailer and launch, plus it's not hard on the eyes or the wallet. Sigh. But hey, it's only money.
I have been looking at these for some time. I have to get one after watching this. Such a versatile boat. Best of both worlds and not too much of a compromise.
I'm seriously considering getting one soon
This is an incredible sales video. That boat is so cool!! Seeing a sailboat going 25mph with the sails down is strange! I can't believe they haven't sold a million of these boats. I want one! I wonder how many people have raised the sails without uploading the water ballast and tipped over?
I can tell you, it will lean tremendously, once the sails are released it will right itself even with now water in the tank. The bottom of the boat is much more dense and heavier than the upper.
I worked in the factory in Costa Mesa, back in late 1983. I was a quality control inspector but I was severely hampered by my lack of comprehension in Spanish. A lot of pointing, gesturing and making faces. It was a fun job none the less with an interest in sailing from sailing a laser.
I like how the M is supposed to be faster under sail but in their head to head clip it's heeling way more than the X, almost like it's sailing without ballast.
Looks fantastic.
i'd like one, thank you. ;D
I finally got my 26M here in southern California. I learning how to re-rig it and maneuver it. Looks good and fun.
How is it working out?
@@charlescharles9625 I love it. I'm only using it under power, have not sailed it yet. It's a lot of fun.
Very nicely done :)
just picked up a Tattoo.Very nicely finnished
I am sorry that they don’t still make them and it’s hard to find a used one these days.
I love it,,,great design.
To Day i see this Video, and I m in Love with this Boot, Very clever Concept. But how long live Material,, 3 Parts Build this Boot ? Reinhold from Germany
Thats some sail boat ,its better than my O'day 25 by far .
BRILIAN ADVERT at last a boat shown in all conditions ,don'r see that very often.
I have an idea for instantly sealing small to medium hull breaches during an emergency at sea. Would you be interested in talking about it?
Sold!
Still like it more than Tesla
Excellent Sales Video me likey
NOTICE: shows a car towing this "but"....it's an old heavy 8 cylinder that can beat most SUV's today. Also and most importantly, the boat does not have the heavy outboard motor on it....completely lacks the motor :) . It's a cool boat and I would consider it but just be honest you criminals.
Hi Sean,
I towed one with a 50hp outboard, three batteries, TV, Solar panel, fridge/freezer, and lockers full of junk, with a 6 cylinder Mitsubishi Magna 200kms and never had any issues.
Has anyone crossed the ocean on a Mac Greager.
ladies and gentlemen the
contessa 32
is this boat available in Europe ?
I have a question for my 26M; Under power only, should the ballast be empty or full, and rudders up or down ???
Emptied, dragging around way too much weight. Ballast are only needed for sailing.
@@jupiterrising2267 Ok, thanks
What's the price
Incredible...How can one spend 55 minutes talking about or watching for that matter a Mac Gregor 26...?!?!?! :)

Awesome boat
It's kind of boat for Dummies..!

Boat was always a piece of shit….. poor construction
