Seller's Description
Macgregor 26-m boats are very sturdy vessels, filled with foam preventing it from sinking. The 50 hp outboard motor allows it to get up on plane and gets up to 30mph. It has a water ballast that keeps the boat stable. There’s lots of videos on line with full descriptions. It has a mast raising system and it can be setup or getting ready for transport in an hour after doing it a few times. I’ve sailed it at Kerr Lake, Lake Norman and Smith Mountain Lake.
Sleeps 5, queen rear birth, V- birth and two side single births.
Very relatable 50hp Tohatsu 2 stroke fuel injection outboard motor. Replace injectors and serviced 2024.
Sliding galley with sink supplied by 5 gallon portable water container. Uses a pump motor to faucet. Portable two burner gas stove. Under galley storage.
New jib sail on roller curler and new sheets and canvas cover. New flat top hi performance main sail with new halyard and canvas cover. Mast raising system. VHF antenna with cable mounted at top of mast. Stern rail seats, cockpit Bimini and cushions. New rack and pinion steering system replaced 2024. Helm was rebuilt replacing marine plywood with 3/4” from 1/4” to make it more stout. Helm has motor RPM gauge, key start and emergency cut off switch/ cable. Raymarine Evolution 100 auto pilot installed spring 2025. Ram ball and socket electronics swivel mount. Trailer with new tires and beake systems serviced, new spare tire and cable cranking system. New wiring with LED lights.
Equipment: Farming GPSMAP 178C Chart plotter/ depth- finder with maps of east coast, rivers and lakes.
32” color tv with antenna. AM/FM Stereo system with new speakers mounted in cockpit. Jabsco twist ‘n’ lock manual toilet with 20 gallon holding tank and macerator. Two AGM batteries, one motor and one house.

Calculations

9.8 kn
Classic: 6.45 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement

25.7
>20: high performance
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
11.8
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
91.6
<100: Ultralight
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
10.7
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.3
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
Replaces the MACGREGOR 26X. Twin rudders and rotating spar.
As with the previous model, designed for use with a more than ‘auxilary’ sized outboard. Capable of 22 mph under power. Under sail she can carry an additional 1150 lbs. of water ballast.
