@Misiekgren what he said was the skeg will not drag even with the motor down, a lot of folks forget to lift there ob or io and drag the bottom off off the lower unit.

I guess so but this looks like a small fair weather sailing vessel. Things break on the open ocean so you'll need parts, tools, and provisions to get you across an ocean. I'd be miserable bouncing around on this thing in the open ocean.
Bit late to the party, but you could easily TRAILER a Macgregor power-sailer like this 26M or the earlier 26X "cross-continentally," say from the East Coast to the West Coast, or from New England to the Florida Keys. Then drop her into the drink and sail wherever you like. You can even use it en route as an RV. These are not really designed to be "blue water sailors" for ocean voyages--they are intended more for coastal, bay or river and lake cruising--But still, lots of folks do take them to the Bahamas from Florida each year. You can safely disregard the nay-sayers and bashers, who, more often than not have never even set foot on one, let alone owned one. It turns out most owners absolutely adore their Macs. I've got a 26X, the precursor model of the 26M shown in this video, and I can assure you, its virtues far outweigh any drawbacks. What you want to do with it should determine which boat you get. If, like me, you want to be able to sail AND motor around, say, Chesapeake Bay at a decent clip, have a nice big comfy cabin with a bathroom, then one of these hybrids certainly won't disappoint you. I can tell you this: Mac sailors tend to get out and have fun on the water A LOT MORE on average than folks with so-called "saltier" blue water craft. Hell, they ain't going to Tahiti. Usually they ain't even leaving the dock.
MacGregor is a good example how a Genius gives his Company to the next Generation (Daughter) and they f.... up all in yust one Generation ....... So sad Daughter, Tattoo and Florida didnt work out very well for this Company
at 8:55- the skipper is for a lack of a better word...dumb those boats have hydraulics to lift the motor up when in shallow water and when one's putting them into a trailer.... sigh
To all concerned: This man has never owned a Macgreggor of any size or description, never sailed one, yet holds himself out to be expert in all things "Macgreggor." I conclude he is a victim of Münchhausen disease, hurling his skewed barbs at any writer who dares to offer opposing views to his saintly discourse. PS: he had demonstrated an inability to properly interpret what he reads, falling back on embellishment where truth is missing. KNIGHTSIX
of course you can. but there are plenty of other boats more suited for the task. skill, not boat, will get you around the world or over any ocean. That being said, I'd pick a different boat for the task than this.
This is undoubtedly the worst craft ever to hit the water. It fails as a powerboat, and fails as a sailing boat. Marrying poor performance to poor performance creates one god-awful abortion of a boat. Still, if you 'mercans want to carry on buying it, good luck!

Its sailing capacity is fair, but i nevet get close to the 20 mph whith the motor, max 16-17 mph. but the handeling and the interior is superb

sonho em ter um, mas aqui no brasil custa 80 mil dolares, e sem motor. com um salario mensal de 1500 dolares, isso vai ser sempre um sonho
I'm are interessed to buy a MacGregor 26 M or X to IMPORT in portugal. Who can help me? Dificulte? Expensive? Many taxes custom? Thanks!
could you travel around the world on this boat?
@Tracor3k99 maybe if you packed a lot of food and sailed the whole way.
Wow man.
the main reason is the amount of production. also its not the best sailboat or the best cruiser. I like them pretty good not sure i would buy one
So cool. Do you think a person could actually sail one of these cross-continentally?
