About the Macgregor 19

Despite limited specification data being readily available, this compact sailboat from the MacGregor line represents an interesting entry in the small boat sailing market. MacGregor Marine built a reputation for producing affordable, innovative designs that often challenged conventional sailing wisdom, and the 19-foot model appears to follow this philosophy. Given its size, this boat would be most suitable for day sailing, sailing instruction, and protected coastal waters rather than extended cruising or offshore adventures. The compact dimensions make it an appealing choice for sailors with limited storage space or those seeking an economical entry into sailing. MacGregor boats are known for incorporating practical design elements that maximize functionality within their size constraints. The company's vessels often feature thoughtful layouts that make efficient use of available space, along with construction methods focused on keeping costs reasonable for recreational sailors. While detailed specifications remain elusive, the MacGregor 19 likely appeals to sailors seeking a straightforward, no-nonsense boat for weekend sailing adventures. Its size makes it manageable for single-handed sailing while still providing enough space for small crew day trips on lakes, bays, and calm coastal waters.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
