I have been watching these craft for some years now. Just waiting for my finances to catch up. Love the idea of the ballast, foam core and virtually unsinkable. The caravan idea is a bonus. Great first experience sail cruiser.
Hi. I want to go out and do some coastal fishing, but at the same time I want to learn how to sail. Is this in your opinion a good way to accomplish that? Thanks, and enjoy your day.
@@joeprimal2044 if you want to sail go to a school and do the coastal skipper course or something similar, you need to know and understand what can happen and how to deal with it it could save your life for such a simple course but it's up to you
Why does Macgregor insist on using the same 80s music from their original 26 sailboat promo videos in a promo made in 2009 or 2010? On the other hand though, we all know how cool 80s music can be.
@@thrishulh9834 £18,750 but I had added some stuff myself, although very economically: 1. Raymarine autopilot below deck, with wireless controls. 2. Solar panel system and extra battery (3 in all) 3. AIS receiver, 4. Additional anchor. The autopilot was very useful single-handed!
I have a 2008 for sale that has been taken out only 3 times ever and has 4 original hours run time. It is literally like new! You can see it posted for sale on FB marketplace in the Sacramento, CA area.

While searching for a sailboat to buy 5 years ago, I went to the McGregor factory near Stuart, FL to see about a 26X but after talking to the daughter of the founder, Mrs. McGregor told me that production was halted temporarily. I needed a boat capable of living aboard, so the McGregor wasn't it. I think this boat would have sold better with a swing keel and less water ballast, for better pointing upwind. Great concept that failed to convince the sailing community. For lakes, it's awesome.

Boat: *filled to the brim with water*
MacGregor: “it won’t sail fast this way”

I had one of the first MacGregors with a drop keel it was a great boat for the price and easy to sail

Go for it. I had one for 3 years and loved it. Plus I sold it for what I paid for it. Was my first boat, lovely to learn to sail on.
Wow great for how much u sold

Nice and simple, whats the £/$ ?
I instantly recognized New port dunes
I Have One Its Nice
Is it able to be towed by a tiny car like in the video?
@benno kaynak that’s awesome ! I’m looking at these too. how are the maintenance costs is comparison to other boats ?
@@eddiemarohl5789 no. Compact truck for launching. Anything more than 10 miles you need a half ton
@1:30 how do you get it off the beach?
Pushing
i really dont like the idea of having such a big motor on a sailboat. but i guess its about what you are going to use the boat for
So sad they went under. I'd like to get one of these all the same.

@@briansutter792 Is that the one in Rocklin? That's kind of over my price point.
Yes it is in Rocklin.
does it have a shower
only on the deck
Are they out of business?
MacGregor retired and left the business to his daughter (I think) and they sell boats under the name Tattoo Yachts.
@@nimbly1693 Thanks Yes and it looks like Tattoo is out of business too.
@@garyreed6310 yes, they sold their last tattoo in 2015. a shame they stopped, no other boat can replace it
Bruh
И нах , это в России показывать?
Я живу во Владивостоке, и у меня такая лодка, правда б/у купил из Японии, лучше для Амурского залива нет.
