That was a great little intro to Macgregor upgrades. I am thinking of one of these for my wife and I, and appreciate your views. Do you know what the largest engine you can use on it, and what the speed is for a larger motor?

Amazing mods to a MacGregor. And most are In expensive Canadian Tire gear (that’s Harbor Freight in the U.S.). MacGregors are not known as great sailboats but you all are on the water and sailing. Kudos!

We're on our second sailboat, and it's our first MacGregor. This is our 6th year sailing her, and we are very happy with how she performs. We were caught in a sudden, terrible storm with gale force winds, and she kept us afloat and alive. Roger MacGregor thought of a lot of things that make this a great boat, even if he did keep it simple and affordable. I've heard the criticism of MacGregors by the sailing community, but I can't tell you how many people stop by to tell us what a beauty she is wherever we go, and she sails fine enough for us.

New subscriber here, I have watched all your videos on the McGregor and have enjoyed it immensely. My dream is to get a McGregor myself someday, but I will have very different views as in love in SW Louisiana here in the states..I heard you mention other trips at the the end of this video, but haven't seen any videos yet. I understand this footage was 5 years ago but do y'all still own your McGregor, if so do you still do trips in it? Thank you so much.

Great mods! Thanks for sharing. Really wish that McGregor made a 35 w/the same draft & features as the 26.

Sir i read that you sold the Boat, but one Question if you still have the Info. How fast was it with 90hp? Thats a lot of horses under the hood.

For me, this is a daysailer, for me, this is so cluttered it would drive me mad I had one for 10 years great boat to sail used it for offshore races and would win the single-handed cup each to their own I was lucky to have a Moody 44 for more deep water sailing

Curious with the helm so aft and the headsail winches atop the cabin, how do you manage to work the sheets through a tack? They seem so far away.

Seeing you’ve sold Sea Weasel are you still sailing and living aboard in a different sailboat? Whilst there are quite a few sailing channels so there is multiple channels of other topics. Your a very likeable couple of which many of us would like to see more of . Please give us an update 👍

Thanks for your comments. We sold the macgregor and bought a Catalina 36 we sailed it the last two summers full time .We completed a circumnavigation of Vancouver island then sold the boat at the end of our trip. We recently just got back from sailing in Mexico for the last month and a half so we have still been sailing lots . We’re going to start looking for another boat probably next winter. Cheers Steve and Ally.

@@sailingthefreelife that really is great news to hear you’ve still been enjoying the sailing life. Hopefully you’ll jump back in front of the camera with a new boat in the near future. Thank you for taking the time for an update, all the best 👍❤️🇬🇧
@jerrysmith3515 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much for the upgrade information. As an inexperienced sailor I have often thought that the MacGregor would be a good boat to start with. I have had power boats most of my adult life. But now that I am retired something that uses wind for the main power I like better. I do think solar panels with electric drive would be really nice. Btw is there a black water tank on board? How many gallons. So where were you tied off during your filming? When you mentioned the heater plus the surroundings it looked Pacific Northwest. Thanks

Our mac26x has never seen us on it for more than 3 days ( due to limitations on supplies and power )but the previous owner installed a plug on the back for shore power and a permanent back mount for the Bimini (where I would have a removable mount for solar panels ) , recently I saw some collapsable solar panels that you can buy a electric “generator “ with different models for different capacities called the “jackery”, and though about buying a smaller one for our Mac just to let us stay out on the water for more extended amounts of time .
