Macgregor 26X Powersailer & Trailer - Priced for quick sale

Sleeps 6. Full Camperback, 50hp 4-Stroke Mercury, Trailer, Original Owner, Full Electronic's, Loaded, Shore Power, Dual Batteries, Walla Stove/Heater....There was an impressive 5,000 of this design built between 1995 and 2003 and so this is one of the latter generations. Designed by Roger MacGregor, the 26x was built for more than normal auxilary power in that a 50 HP outboard will move the boat nearly 25 mph quite efficiently. Put in the water ballast for sailing and you have a fast sailing vessel – a nice compliment of sail and power in one boat. Remove the water ballast before you leave the ramp and you have a larger, yet lighter boat to haul down ther road without a permit behind a smaller tow vehicle. She’s quite roomy and comfortable below as well with sleeping for 6 plus a kid in a roomy cabin that includes two large double berths forward and aft. There is a dinette which converts to a double. Along the port side is a galley and across from that is a head that encloses completely for privacy. You don’t have to kick anyone out of the cabin to use it. The keel is swing for beaching when up and sailing to weather when down. The rudder's are kick up too.TRAILER included.

 

 

The New 26

The MacGregor 26 has evolved from the original swing-keel version with tiller and a small outboard to the current daggerboard 26M model with steering wheel and a big outboard. Along the way the styling evolved from original models that looked more like traditional sailboats to the distinctive “Euro-powerboat” appearance of the 26M. People seem to love or hate this boat, with few in between.

It's Mostly in the Power

When MacGregor gave the 26X model room for a 50 hp outboard in the mid 1990s, the move heralded a new market focus. The water ballast that had been removable only after taking the boat out of the water could now be dumped while underway if the sails were down. With its lightweight planing hull, the boat then became a powerboat capable of doing over 20 mph. The marketing strategy has shifted from its former emphasis on practical trailering to the fun and usefulness of having two boats in one. Sail or power, take your pick.

Creature Comforts Too

For its size, the new 26M is also quite roomy below and has the amenities necessary for weekend cruising by a couple or small family:

  • Queen-size aft berth and vee-berth forward
  • Enclosed head with porta-potty
  • Galley area with sink and room for stove
  • Removable table
  • 6 feet of headroom under the sliding hatch.
  • Many available options
