I have a macgregor19, what I like about it is it simplicity, the mast stores inside the boat(makes it cleaner and easier to travel, and you never hit your head on it when loading gear on the boat) the water ballast, the tiller steering rather than a wheel(wheel is too fine when under motor and too coarse when sailing), the lightness on a trailer, the smallness of the motor, and the simplicity of layout inside(cassete toilet and chilly bins are easy clean). None of this has been replicated again and I do not understand why. all these modern yachts are so complicated, you probably never finish fixing them! too much work, not enough sailing
Getting any boat is like getting a pet. To buy new, or rescue an older hull is a question. I for one would never support the continued use of fiberglass, carbon fiber or other non-biodegradable, non-recyclable materials in the manufacture of anything, especially boats. Aluminum, steel or wood, even ferrocement are suitable alternatives for any new design. I'm certain those who purchase new fiberglass hulls are of the same mentality as those who get their dogs from puppy farms.

mac 26d here and i wouldnt trade it for this thing. its a nice boat but its trying hard to be bigger than it is.
Nice. Looks like the perfect weekender for coastal and lake cruising.
Same layout as the mac gregors 26, nice!
Guys, this is a powersailer with 115HP Motor! It is a hybrid Motor + Sails.
81.000!
Good luck with that...
Looks like a MacGregor 26 dressed up as a new boat
It sells under the Odin brand in Europe - much better build quality than the Mac26
Obviously you don’t know much about Mac Gregor boats to make such a comment!
@@andrewrobinson4026 What should we know about the 26M Mac?
Nice boat to bad the people at the show were not welcoming! I wouldn't buy just because of that!
here new 28 footer 115 hp
Looks lovely for lakes but not nearly capable of significant offshore cruising. Noi beam, no deadrise, not prepared for long juants.
Is it available in USA?
hau mach idiotas
