The Argyllshire Gathering Piping Competition 2020 takes place in Oban Argyll on Wednesday 26 August and Thursday 27 August 2020.

Macgregor 26 competitors. Office led by Sarah Knakmuhs Mike Hotra and Liz Sidoti who join the firm as Managing Directors. The Mac 26 is a controversial boat with its supporters and detractors. Thats mostly because the Edge has only been out a few years.

The Catalina 250 mkII in contrast is more like a high-end version of the original MacGregor 26 with a small outboard engine a swing keel and a more traditional appearance. The Mac 26 placed interior space creature comforts feature list and speed under power above all. 945 PM on Thursday evening December 21st.

Theres no question MacGregor is building an inexpensive product that sells for 4000-6000 less than its primary competitors. We consider the Suzuki 50 and 70 to be the ultimate engines for the MacGregor we have chosen them for both our demonstrator boat and our personal boat. What marketing strategies does Macgregorsailors use.

Add 5000-7000 for engine and electronics. They hope to fill the market formerly occupied by the MacGregor 26. As Argyllshire Gathering Piping Steward Torquil Telfer explained We have waited until the last possible moment before cancelling our traditional competitions.

My experiences with the MacGregor were an unmitigated disaster from day one. Avg Traffic to Competitors. In these races the 65s were competing with many of the fastest yachts on the West Coast.

Having owned both boats for at least a year each I think that I can speak to the issue of what the differences are between these two boats. Over two days of piping excellence hundreds of pipers from Scotland across the UK and internationally will compete in the worlds foremost solo piping competition. Most designers choose sailing performance seakeeping and dare I say tradition as primary design criteria.
