Hi all ,

I Live in brisbane Queensland and I am interested in buying a 26S ,cheers

Speedo, have you ever seen a 26S advertised here in Australia?

I thought that someone with more knowledge than I might have answered your first post by now.

I can't recall having seen any Macgregor advertised here other than the X and the M.

In the main Macs are imported by the three companies that you will see advertising in boating/cruising type magazines.

Some people have imported their own boats privately from the US but they are in the minority.

There may be 26S type boats here, I could be totally wrong, but I can't recall any reference to one.

What attracts you to the "S"?

C ya.

Hi ,

I have been told that they sail better than the x & M's dont't know if its true ,also the cost I am looking for one under $30ooo with water ballast ,cheers

Speedo, I just looked at Boat Point. There is one "S" in W.A. but there is a "Mac 25" in Redcliffe for $22K that looks like a well cared for boat. Its on a dual axle trailer.

There is also a '95 X fairly cheap.

Good luck.
C ya.

Hi Clem , The 1995 26S is in a terrible state and is in Japan ,thanks for your feed back ,I also wanf an aft berth <<< .cheers

Hi Speedo,

I know it is some time since you enquired but I have only just come across your enquiry.

I purchased a 26S back in August, 2010 and am very, very happy with the boat for what I want to do - mainly just sailing the Broadwater and the Bay with my 2 teenagers. I know there are a few 26S & 26Ds in Australia as I have tracked down at least 4 other boats so far, but none of their current owners - I have spoken to one ex-owner (who was very happy with his 26D) but do not know where his ex-boat is now. My boat has been in Qld since 2004 and I know there has been/is a 26D somewhere in Brisbane. I do not have the name painted on my boat at yet but it is named "Myuna".

If I can be of any help please let me know.

Cheers
Cruiser
