I wish McGregor would still make sailboats with more classic lines. My very
first sailboat was a 22ft MacGregor back in the 1970’s. It wasn’t the
prettiest boat, but at least it blended in with other traditional boats.
These new M26 sailboats stick out so much in a marina and are sorta in the
same league as the Bayliner Buccaneer sailboats. They’re fun and all, but
why make ’em so ugly?
oh be quiet people macgregors are true trailerable sailboats and i think
that they are really cool looking.
A crap boat, give me a Triton 28 or an Alberg 30 any day.
You must be moored at Wab. 🙂 I’ve crewed a few 26Xs on regatta nights
there. Quite fun despite its seeming “industrial-ness”
Are you and IDIOT. You’re actually comparing a 26′ weekender with a 65m
boat? Don’t have children! People like you passing your stupid genes down
to the next generation scare me.
Nice
echt een kk boot!
“…sail like a pig?” What does that mean? She sails fine for what she is.

I would like more information about this boat. How much? where can I buy? ,
thanks.
Right.They’re made to be towed easily & affordable. If that’s your main
goal they probably fit the bill. However:affordability & ease of towing do
not go well with good sailing performance.I know people that have & love
their Mcgregors but they are not serious sailors. I hate MacGregor too.
Sailing performance & quality is more important to me than ease of towing
but many people like their MacGregors & they sell lots of boats so
MacGregor is doing something right.Just not what I want in a boat
Yep, very telling…..They sell A LOT of boats!!
Have you noticed your fat as well as stupid Colin?
Gostaria de ter mais informações a respeito dessa embarcação. Quanto custa?
aonde posso comprar? Aguardo, obrigado, Charles. stambukdrago@bol.com.br
Omg what a total piece of junk!
Yes it does. It says that it is the MOST POPULAR, and MOST AFFORDABLE
beginner, weekender, sailboat in the world. So when people move up to a
bigger boat and can’t afford two boats, they sell their old starter boat.
Just like people sell their small starter home when they move up to the 4
bedroom model.
We bought our26X new in 98 its been a fine boat .been on the lakes from
Ontario to the & on the Pacific.We live in Alberta.
Why spend the money on them? What do you need in a weekender that you’d
spend money on those more expensive boats? They are more luxurious, but you
don’t live on the boat so you don’t need those luxuries. And since your not
doing any long range sailing with a 26′ boat, they’re better open water
performance is never going to be used, so why would any intelligent person
spend the money to buy something he’ll never use? NO ONE buys a 26′ boat
for sailing pleasure. Solo-weekend sailing, yes.
Interesting a quick web search finds a great selection of fairly new
MacGregors for sale. Telling isn’t it?
Missed my point. Classic Clorox bottle production boat. Neither adapt at
sail or under power. Easy to loose interest in once you have sailed real
keelboats.No other production boat builder still uses water ballast. Lots
of NEW sailors buy them and then sell them just after a few seasons or once
they have sailed on a fixed keel boat.
No offense, but it looks like it’ll sail like a pig…
We only sailed Wab 1 time…we mostly go to the Sunshine coast,,,,or Cold
Lake…
well, the better option is a 65m royal huisman….
I understand. My point is, very few Mac Gregors are sold by their owners.
There are so many out there, that it appears that they are being sold at a
high rate, but they aren’t. The average owner keeps his boat, they aren’t
looking to be serious sailors, they need a boat they can tow home and keep
in the yard. Those who find they love sailing, do move up, but most don’t
and can’t. Sailing is expensive, kids, mortgages, and health insurance are
also expensive. Mac’s aren’t.
