With its distinctive trailer-sailer design, this versatile craft has carved out a unique niche in the recreational sailing market. MacGregor Marine built this model to bridge the gap between sailing and powerboating, incorporating a retractable keel system that allows for easy trailering and shallow-water exploration. The boat's lightweight construction and relatively spacious cockpit make it appealing for day sailing and weekend cruising in protected waters. Its design prioritizes ease of handling and transportability over heavy-weather performance, making it best suited for lakes, bays, and near-coastal sailing rather than serious offshore passages. The retractable keel configuration allows owners to launch from virtually any boat ramp and explore skinny waters that would challenge traditional deep-keel sailboats. MacGregor's reputation centers on creating affordable, user-friendly sailboats that lower the barrier to entry for new sailors. While purists sometimes debate the brand's dual-purpose sailing and motoring approach, the practical benefits have attracted a loyal following among recreational sailors who value convenience and versatility. The boat represents an ideal choice for sailors seeking a capable day-sailer with camping potential and maximum flexibility in where they can sail and store their vessel.
- 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.
