Mac Gregor
The MacGregor 26M has established itself as one of the benchmarks in the trailerable sailboat segment, and it's no coincidence. This used unit, built in 2003 and currently located in Ibiza, Balearic Islands, represents the perfect balance between practicality, ease of handling, and versatility, attributes that have made MacGregor a respected brand among recreational sailing enthusiasts.
The American shipyard MacGregor Yacht Corporation is rightly famous for its ability to innovate, and the 26M model is one of its most prominent examples. This sailboat, measuring 7.87 meters in length and 2.29 meters in beam, is designed to satisfy those seeking total freedom at sea. Thanks to its draft of 1.71 meters and retractable keel, it allows access to shallow water areas and facilitates road transport, eliminating the need for a fixed mooring, making it an excellent option for both experienced sailors and those new to boating.
The condition of this used vessel is remarkable, with only two owners and moderate use under private use list 7ª. Its maintenance has been constant and careful, which is reflected in its overall good appearance. With a Spanish flag and CE certification in category C, it is authorized to sail up to 12 nautical miles from the coast, thus opening up a wide range of routes and plans to enjoy along the Balearic coast.
One of the great attractions of the MacGregor 26M is its versatility. It is equipped with a 50 HP Suzuki DF-50 outboard motor, allowing it to combine the genuine sensations of sailing with agile motorized movements. This duality is particularly useful for those seeking a sailboat that does not compromise on speed and flexibility. The water ballast system provides additional stability while sailing, while the retractable keel facilitates both grounding and access to shallow beaches and anchorages.
Inside, the use of space is surprising. This sailboat offers capacity for up to six people, has a main cabin and a convertible salon, as well as a WC on board. The interior design aims to maximize comfort on short trips and weekend getaways, making it ideal for families or groups of friends looking to start coastal sailing without complications.
The equipment is functional and designed for enjoyment: mainsail with lazy bag and lazy jacks, roller genoa, and bimini, details that facilitate maneuvers and protect from the sun during days on deck. Its handling is simple, with low maintenance costs and the great advantage of being towable, which multiplies the possibilities of use and reduces the logistical limitations usually found in larger vessels.
For all these reasons, the MacGregor 26M is especially recommended as a first sailboat or for those seeking a practical, comfortable, and ready-to-sail alternative along the privileged coast of Ibiza, Balearic Islands. Its versatility, ease of use, and good condition make it an exceptional opportunity in the used market.
