About Sailing

There are few places, available by land, that are unspoiled by civilization. Quietly experience the beauty and solitude of uninhabited shorelines or view the undisturbed sea life from the comfort of your own boat.

Perhaps initially you may not want to rig your MacGregor to its full sailing capability, but the choice is yours.

The new MacGregor 26M is one of the best handling and fastest trailerable cruising sailboats available anywhere.

The 26M balances beautifully. A light touch on the wheel is all that is necessary to track a perfect course. The big twin rudders give excellent control. The boat is light and a light boat requires less sail area to sail fast. The 26M's light weight and its powerboat underbelly allow the boat to get up on top of the water and plane in heavy winds. In such conditions, this boat has exceeded 17 mph under sail.

The MacGregor 26M daggerboard has a ratio of five to one. This high aspect ratio increases lift as the boat sails into the wind and reduces drag. This is one of the major reasons that the new 26M will point closer into the wind and sail faster than other trailerables. The long deep daggerboard keeps the boat from side-slipping when sailing into the wind. The big twin rudders give excellent control and sail handling is easy.
