The MacGregor 26M represents one of the most sought-after second-hand sailboats for those looking to combine versatility and ease of handling in a practical and transportable format. This model, manufactured by the prestigious MacGregor Yacht Corporation, has established itself as a benchmark among light cruising sailboats thanks to its innovative design and the reputation of the American shipyard for building reliable, functional vessels ready for family and recreational use.
The available unit, located in Ibiza, Balearic Islands, has a length of 7.87 meters, a beam of 2.29 meters, and a draft of 1.71 meters, dimensions that allow for stable and comfortable sailing, both on coastal outings and small crossings. Its second-hand condition is particularly attractive: it has had only two owners, has always been listed as private use in category 7, and has been meticulously maintained, which is reflected in its overall good condition and the preservation of all its systems.
The MacGregor 26M stands out among sailboats in its category for the ability to efficiently combine sailing and motor navigation. It features a 50 HP Suzuki DF-50 outboard motor, allowing for quick movements when conditions require and facilitating maneuvers in port or at anchor. Additionally, the water ballast system provides notable stability during sailing, while the retractable centerboard/keel allows access to shallow waters and simplifies land transport, eliminating dependence on a fixed mooring.
The interior of this sailboat surprises with its space utilization. It can accommodate up to six people, has a main cabin and a convertible salon, as well as a WC on board, which multiplies options for day outings or small coastal cruises. All this in a bright and functional environment, ideal for both beginners in sailing and families or groups of friends seeking comfort in a compact boat.
Regarding equipment, this MacGregor 26M includes a mainsail with a lazy bag and lazy jacks, a roller genoa, and a bimini, providing a simple yet effective setup for recreational sailing. The CE certification in category C and its capability to sail up to 12 miles from the coast reinforce its profile as a versatile and safe sailboat for different sailing plans.
Located in Ibiza, this sailboat allows for exploring the waters of the Balearics with complete freedom, with the advantage of being towed if one wishes to discover new destinations. Due to its characteristics and condition, it presents itself as a very interesting option for those looking for a reliable first sailboat, low maintenance, and the flexibility to alternate between sailing and motor navigation. An opportunity to enjoy the sea with independence and simplicity.
