We have been owners of this MacGregor sailboat since 2005 and have many great memories in many places. We have raced, fished, snorkeled and enjoyed all sorts of marine life exploring the many parts of Florida in this sailboat. It is the perfect boat to either spend the day in nearby coastal areas or spend several nights sleeping on it while venturing through the Ten Thousand Islands, the Everglades, across to the Florida Keys as well as Biscayne Bay and the Dry Tortugas.
Trailer-ability, Portability and Flexibility: It is the perfect boat to drive anywhere and launch from any ramp. Before launching, you can put the boat together, including rigging in less 30 minutes. It glides on the trailer very easily either by hand or motoring on. It is water ballasted which allows you to easily pull out a plug emptying the tank of seawater lightening your load for your drive home. Dismantling it, including taking down the mast, is quick and easy.
Shape & Size: This sailboat has a unique V shaped hull enabling it to cut through the waves. You can anchor in very shallow water allowing you to check out and walk on beachesit floats in 12 inches of water with the dagger board up. It keeps afloat with solid foam flotation and it is unsinkable and uncapsizable. It has a roomy interior big enough for a family of four to sleeptwo in the bow and two in the aft.
Costs: There is no need for expensive storage in the waterjust store it in your backyard! Insurance is also cheap and there is no ongoing costs. This boat can meet all your budgetary needs.
If you dont have much sailing experience, it is also the perfect boat to learn how to sail and gain all the skills necessary to become an expert sailor. If youre looking for adventures on the water and sailing, this Macgregor is a great option.

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Modified with centerboard in 1990 (MACGREGOR 26S).
