MacGregor is a "trailer sailor" a sailboat with an outboard motor that can be cheaply stored on a trailer. This is a motor sailor, you have redundant propulsion sail and motor, so it is great safe boat for beginners. Coastal winds are often unpredictable and inconsistent wind makes slow sailing for traditional sailboats. This is a problem for weekend sailors who cannot miss work on Monday and Tuesday because they are stuck at Catalina.

A 50 HP outboard gives you great speed if you need to escape pirate capture or return to shore in an emergency (no running out of beer does not qualify as an emergency) you can just start the motor and quickly get there.

Make the most of your time weekend sailing and keep everyone happy.

While you as captain may feel the inexplicable pleasure of the sirens' song while on the smooth flat sun baked windless open ocean believe me your crew of shanghaied family and friends wont share your love of sitting motionless in the baking sun. So when the wind doesn't want to cooperate and mutiny seems unstoppable no need to continue torturing your red faced crew just start the motor ad zip to the nearest shopping location for a little R&R.

All around affordable, safest and most practical boat you can ever own.
