McGregor 26
I have a friend who is happy with his Mac. 26. It has a big outboard and can cruise at +15 knots. BUT: it does not sail as well as most typical sail boat of that size. It's a compromise: good sailing vs. power boat performance. He only uses his genoa to sail as it is over-powered with the main.
I have a Hunter 26 that sails very well. I carry 2000# of ballast water and it hardly ever heels over 35 degrees. It is trailerable, comfortable with a roomy cockpit, and fairly well built. BUT: it doesn't cruise at +15 knots. 6 knots from a boat of this size is the best you'll do most of the time. I don't have anything really bad to say about the McGreggor. It's a matter of taste as to whether you prefer sailing or motor-cruising. The Hunter has a 9' beam and a wide, comfortable cockpit.
Call if you have questions: 252-633-9237.
