2004 Macgregor 26

26 Foot water ballast sailboat in great condition. She’s the best all round boat for Puget Sound. Sails at 6 knots and points very well. Motors at 22 MPH. My boat has been well loved. I would not sell but my job now requires me to move over seas. She sails hands off in light to winds 12knots. I can walk all over and either do tasks or relax and see the sights even with no autopilot. She is easy to sail also. She has two reefing points on the main and a roller filling jib. I have been able to adjust for all the wind the sound has to offer. I’ve got pictures and videos of me on the bow and no one at the helm. There is also an asymmetrical spinnaker for any time your broad reach or below. I have sailed single handed under spinnaker hundreds of miles with no problem. This past summer I sailed from Olympia to the San Juan islands and back solo. 

It has the Suzuki 70 for power. Full power with ballast in she’ll go 70 miles with two 12 gallon tanks. Slow it down to hull speed and I went almost 200 miles on 24 gallons. With her speed I’ve used her for whale watching, crabbing, and getting to where I wanted to sail. She is the only sailboat that can motor from Olympia to Seattle in under 3 hrs so you can have time to sail around Elliot bay and still have time to walk downtown Seattle. 

She has 6 ft of headroom in the main salon. There is a small enclosed head with port a potty. There is an alcohol stove. I never used it but the PO said it works well. I have a butane camp stove I used both inside and in the cockpit depending on weather. It comes with a butane grill as well. 

It has two batteries, one for the engine and charged by the engine. The house battery is charged by shore power or a 20 amp solar panel. 

She sleeps 6 easy. My 3 kids are 13 and under. Me and both sons sleep under the cockpit. Wife and daughter sleep on the salon bunks. This leaves the V-berth for storage or two more guests. 

There is a Bimini and a dodger with a connector canvass between. 

There is an anchor with 20ft of chain and 150 ft cord. We have also beached her on sandy or muddy beaches to explore. 

She gets attention and complements constantly. 

You won’t be disappointed. 

I do love this boat and I hate to sell her, but work has its requirements. 

Trailer included as well as the easiest mast raising system I’ve seen.
