Sailing
Quick,
stable and responsive, the revolutionary MacGregor 26 is the
fastest and best handling of any of the trailerable cruising
sailboats.
If you are buying a sailboat for the
first time, performance and racing may seem of little interest
to you. However, a boat that performs well is generally safer
and easier to sail. It will certainly yield greater long-term
enjoyment.
The
MacGregor 26 balances beautifully. A
light touch on the wheel is all that is necessary to track a
perfect course. The big twin rudders give excellent
control.
The
boat is light and therefore
requires less sail area to sail fast, so sail handling
is easy.
The long, deep daggerboard
keeps the boat from side-slipping when sailing into the
wind. The board is controlled by a line leading to the
cockpit. The daggerboard and rudders may be raised
completely. This allows the boat to be beached without risk
of damage.
If you have never sailed
before, don't be scared, it's easy! Click here for your first lessons of how to enjoy
this beautiful and peaceful
