We have seen so many of these entry level sloops in disarray, having fallen from the grace of their owners... NOT HERE!
This MacGregor 26M is in really good condition! EXTREMELY clean on the inside with nary a scratch. The upholstery is clean and there isn't a hint of mildew anywhere---including the head! The hull has some nicks and dings expected from its age and usage.
If you think all MacGregors are the same, the 26M has far more appointments than its predecessor, the 26X. Take careful note of the upgrades and livability.
The cockpit is accessed via the transom through a swing-up fiberglass captain's chair. Under the faux-lazarettes sit 10-gallon gas tanks which feed a BRAND NEW 70 hp Suzuki 4-Stroke that as NEVER BEEN RUN since getting it from the dealer AND IT STILL HAVE OVER 5 YEARS OF THE 6 YEAR WARRANTY.........
THIS SLOOP IS RATED FOR 24MPH.....sufficient to wakeboard behind...YES, YOU CAN WAKEBOARD BEHIND THIS SAILBOAT!
Inside is a spacious full beam aft berth. A dinette to starboard collapses to provide more berth space or can be extended to have ample seating for six from 3 sides.
The galley to port is simple, clean and uncluttered. Single sink built into the countertop for seamless cleanup. A gas burner sits to the right of the sink and the owners have tastefully added removable basket storage over the sink.
Heading fore, the PERFECT fiberglass floors are covered with easy to remove factory carpets; so clean they are truly representative of the care its owners have taken of this vessel.
The V-berth is spacious with a hatch over the berth and two additional skylights give plenty of light to the room.
The head is small but well positioned and for a 26' boat, it's much roomier than expected.
Outside the vessel comes with a Main Sail and a furling Jib attached to a ROTATING mast. Both sails are in "as new" condition. The traveler, cleats, and winches are very clean with no sign of rust on the metal housing.
Sheets are in "fair condition". Top decks are very very clean, no cracking in the gelcoat. Anchor locker in the bow, likewise, very clean, anchor in solid condition.
There is also a water ballast bag that is capable of increasing the displacement by 500 lbs; a feature virtually unheard of in sub 10m sloops.
Dual rudders complement the extendable daggerboard. This vessel can motor in water as shallow as 12" and be beached for day sailing convenience to local islands and parks without moorage.
This is a very manageable sloop absolutely PERFECT for beginning to intermediate sailors who want to actually SAIL instead of maintaining pre-existing problems; an absolute MUST SEE for anyone serious about day to weekend sailing who wants the best maintained short sloop available on the market today!
This vessel is in fantastic shape. there are a few scratches in the blue hull, but far far far less than expected for this age. Most of the marks were easily removed with the scratch of a fingernail indicating that the marks were predominantly superficial.
Interior is an 8.5 of 10 condition
Top deck is an 8 of 10 condition
Hull is a 6 of 10 condition
