Production model

MacGregor 26

Built by MacGregor

A 25 ft 10 in fractional sloop designed by Roger Macgregor, built from 1986. She carries 7 ft 11 in beam, 5 ft 4 in draft and 2,850 lb displacement. Hull form is daggerboard. About 6,000 were built.

A water-ballasted trailerable that will also take a sizeable outboard and motor at speeds no sailboat of her size should manage, which is either the point of her or the problem with her depending on who you ask. The figures below come from owners who logged work on this boat here.
