The MacGregor 26 Classic, not to be confused with the Powersailer model, offers good sailing performance and the lifting keel and rudder allow shallow water exploration and taking the ground. The yacht has water ballast which means that it can be drained so that it is light to transport by road. This is a fully equipped example with road trailer and mast lowering kit. Her owners are going for a larger cruising sailing yacht.
