T R U L Y U N I Q U E Motor Sailer
Why a trailerable sailboat? On a trailer the boat can cruise to remote sailing areas at 55 mph to lakes, oceans, rivers or reservoirs wherever you can find a launching ramp and water deeper than 12 inches.
These boats, even based in the local areas, are taken regularly long distances overland south in the winter or north in the summer to sail the northern lakes available to us and on the road she makes a great "CAMPER".
With the MACGREGORS ability to call on her big motor, she can, on demand, deliver you to a port or on to your next vruising area on her own bottom at speeds close to 20 miles per hour...
Most sailboats must remain in an expensive slip all summer and be stored by the yard for the Winter With an easily launchable boat like the Macgregor 26 she can be returned to the water late in a season for some of the great Indian summer weather that we get here in the North East. Having her stored next to, or close to, your home, will let you look after her easily and "putter" at will.
Don't miss the opportunity to explore this great boating concept that gives you the alternative lifestyles of SAILING and MOTORBOATING at a very affordable price and with ONE BOAT.
