We have been MacGregors largest dealer over the past 24 years.
Macgregor 26 blue water sailing. Hi for this decoration I used a 2mm thick cork roll and a slow-acting water-based glue. The water ballast system emptys in just minutes for transporting on the trailer. Assuming my sailing skills are up to it is the MacGregor 26 a good choice to make an Atlantic crossing.
The MacGregor 26 evolved after the Venture 22 and the MacGregor 25 which had been built from 1973 to about 1987. We did blue water sailing in an Ericson 35 a much heavier and stronger boat than a Macgregor. You could certainly do the loop in a Mac 26.
With a focus on trailer able pocket cruisers MacGregor developed the first water ballast system for their 26-footer in the late 1980s. As with the previous model designed for use with a more than auxilary sized outboard. If you were very lucky the crossing might even be relatively uneventful though that is unlikely.
2011 Macgregor 26M The Macgregor 26M is the fastest and best handling of the trailerable sailing and high speed motor cruisers. An earlier model called the MACGREGOR 26D was similar but with a vertically lifting keel. They have everything MacGregor.
Capable of 22 mph under power. With the trailer you can visit cruising grounds that water bound boats cant get to. The ocean starts at the coast.
Also Venture sailboats and MacGregor keel boats. 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. Ive done about half of the loop in a Cheoy Lee 31 which is a pretty good blue water boat but I still got beat up a couple times in bays and sounds.
