MacGregor 26 este o barcă de vânzare cu tragere care, deși nu este foarte atractivă din punct de vedere estetic, a rămas populară pe piață timp de decenii datorită compromisurilor sale practice și spațiului generos. Modelul recent 26M, echipat cu motor de 50 de cai putere și capabil să atingă viteze de 20 de noduri, a atras atenția Gărzii de Coastă americane pe 15 martie, deoarece a fost folosit de către contrabandişti mexicani.

The MacGregor 26 is not an attractive boat. Decent headroom, galley, and accommodations created a raised deck and “generous” hull shape. But a lot of people love the compromises, and it has been a staple in the trailerable sailboat market for decades.
Since its introduction, the design has evolved through several iterations, each addressing previous criticisms and incorporating new features to meet changing market demands. The most recent 26M model represented a significant departure which got the attention of Mexican smugglers.
With twin rudders and a daggerboard, this model is intended as a powersailer, with provision for a gutsy 50-hp outboard engine that can boost the boat onto a plane to achieve speeds up to twenty knots. While the US Coast Guard regularly deal with small powerboats as they defend the US border, a MacGregor 26 caught their attention on March 15. - Full report
