We did blue water sailing in an Ericson 35 a much heavier and stronger boat than a Macgregor.

Macgregor 26 blue water sailing. Ballast includes 300 lbs of fixed ballast plus up to an additional 1150 lbs of water. You could certainly do the loop in a Mac 26. Hi for this decoration I used a 2mm thick cork roll and a slow-acting water-based glue.

Buyers from all over North America look for boats rigged by Blue Water Yachts we will outfit your new boat with the RIGHT equipment for your skill level and location from beginner to advanced from lake sailing to coastal ocean sailing. Allen strongly recommended we replace the decades-old original sails which had lost all their stiffness and shape. They have everything MacGregor.

The MacGregor 26 evolved after the Venture 22 and the MacGregor 25 which had been built from 1973 to about 1987. Not to be adjusted while sailing. Of water sealed in the baffled centerline compartment under the sole.

This sail is a substantial upgrade from the standard factory sail it is made for more rugged use and longer life with reinforced corner rings heavier corner and reef patches and double stitching. But if you are exploring coves in the keys you ARE blue water sailing. With the trailer you can visit cruising grounds that water bound boats cant get to.

Also with water ballast reduced weight for trailering. Replace stuck steering wheel and Steering Brake Cockpit - 2002 MacGregor 26X - March 24 2021. There is still quite a bit of open water to navigate while doing the loop.

If you were very lucky the crossing might even be relatively uneventful though that is unlikely. After launching a valve is opened to flood the area then closed. An earlier model called the MACGREGOR 26D was similar but with a vertically lifting keel.
