MacGregor 26 Sailboat Owner’s Review: Pros and Cons
There is some confusion regarding the various MacGregor 26 models and their sailing capabilities. The MacGregor 26 evolved from the Venture 22 and the MacGregor 25, which were produced from 1973 until about 1987. The M25 had a weighted centerboard keel, similar to other trailerable sailboats, and boasted positive flotation, an affordable price, easy trailering, and a comfortable interior including an enclosed head (porta-potty). These features were retained in the M26 models, contributing to MacGregor’s status as one of the best-selling sailboats.
