2001 MacGregor Sailboat 26X

Description

This is a great daysailer, super family friendly (we have 3 kids) and great as a weekend camping boat. Lasy year underwent a complete refit from stem to stern and includes many upgrades. Also what makes the MacGregor an awesome family friendly boat is the fact its self-righting with the water ballast tank filled. This means that the boat will return to an upright position after being pulled over on its side with the sails in place.

We are only selling because we are moving

Exterior
• Brand new seat cushions. Navy blue Sunbrella fabric with white piping
• Captains seat raised and mounted on stainless hinges. The original 26x seat is too low to allow you to see in front of the vessel while seated. This upgrade fixes that problem. The hinges also allow the seat to be folded up out of the way providing more standing room if needed.
• Bait board with fresh water washdown on stern rail. Bait board folds down when not in use. Bait board also makes a great spot for your bbq or gas stove when its time to make dinner.

• We have removed the interior table and replaced with a custom-made bed. Much nicer than the claustrophobic queen bed under the cockpit. This set up also frees up the area under the cockpit creating a huge storage space for fishing gear, scuba tanks, kids sand toys etc. The table can be reinstalled in less than 5 min with 2 bolts.
