Production model
MacGregor 65
Built by MacGregor
A 65 ft cutter designed by Roger MacGregor, built from 1984 to 1987. She carries 11 ft 8 in beam, 8 ft 6 in draft and 22,000 lb displacement. Hull form is fin with bulb & a spade rudder. About 24 were built.
MacGregor built light, cheap, trailerable sailboats in California for forty years, and sold more trailerable sailboats than anyone. Build quality is modest and the value for money was extraordinary. The figures below come from owners who logged work on this boat here.
