General condition and any additional information
This ready to travel and delivery can be disussed.
Standard features
Well equipped, clean and easy to tow, this 26D (daggerboard) is the best sailing 26 Macgregor made. Water ballast. Includes a trailer with new tires, new hubs with bearings, spare tire, LED lights, and title in hand. It can be lauched on shallow boat ramps Enclosed head with brand new porta potty still in its shipping box. Interior lights, voltage gage, new control panel, new West Maine battery, nav lights and recently rewired. Usually comes standard with mainsail, and jib but this mainsail is made by North with 4 battens, one reef, slides, and is in excellent conditon. Additional sails include jib,150 genoa, 150 drifter in very good condition, and jib. Gennaker and crisp 155 Genoa are available. The Rudder is a major upgrade by Rudder Craft as pictured. Mast raising system for single handed mast stepping. 4 of the eight interior cushions are in good condtion but the other four are in sad condition.
Extra gear included
Two dock lines, 4 fenders, 4 standard West Marine life jackete, 1childs and two adult life jackets, two anchors, 4 throable cushions also used as cockpit cushions, and more. Solar charger as battery maintainer. It has been cleaned and waxed in the past two weeks.
Improvements to the hull, deck, rigging, engine, or interior
Major improvements include the fresh four stroke 6hp Tahatsue longshaft outboard with very few hours and looks like new, starts easily and has remote gas tank. New motor mount. The new larger swing up rudder by Rudder Craft includes a new tiller with tiller cover. The deck has a Harken mainsheet traveler, boom vang, tiller clutch, Richie compass, new jib traveler blocks, swim latter, adjustible backe stay, spare Fly wind indicator, new topping lift kit. Forspar extenable wisker pole.
Two additional sails are available including a genakker (includes launching bag, launching sock, and sheets) and an excellent 150 genoa.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
9.6 kn
Classic: 6.49 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
-
18.8
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
-
42.1
>40: stiffer, more 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
-
98.2
<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
-
11.5
<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
-
2.2
>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
Modified with centerboard in 1990 (MACGREGOR 26S).
