Sail Magazine
has recognized the MacGregor Yacht Corporation as one of the most
innovative of the sailboat builders over the last 3 decades, and
as the builder that brought affordable sailing to thousands.
The company
began the trailerable sailboat market, now the fastest growing segment
of sailing.
They also
invented the water ballast system that provides the safety of a
true keelboat. Their water ballast system has been copied by other
major builders, and has become the new standard for the trailerable
sailboat industry.
Creating
a light weight boat that could be driven at a high speed with a
relatively low horsepower outboard motor and still be a high performance
sailboat has been their focus. The culmination of all of this is
the MacGregor 26M.
