Perfect for crossing the strait in two hours, or reaching Desolation Sound from Vancouver in 8, then take your time sailing in harder to reach areas. You can be anywhere in the strait, even Princess Louisa Inlet in less than a day. Few sail boats can do that.

https://www.mycbc.ca/macgregor-buying-guide/
Upgrades from standard package:
- 50 Hp Honda, replaced in 2005 (max rated power)
- MacGregor aluminum trailer, upgraded 2008
- Furling jib,
- Bimini,
- Alcohol stove,
- Anchors,
- Seat cushions,
- Fresh water tank,
- Larger ballast drain pipe installed for quicker drain to plane,
- Major engine maintenance & tune up August 2022.
Why the original layout is proffered:
- swing centre board rotates up resulting in less likelihood of damage in the event that you hit bottom or forget to raise the board when putting the boat on the trailer,
- there is no dagger board protruding into the middle of the cabin space,
- the location of the head is further back which does not split up the cabin into small cramped spaces,
- the galley is positioned centre ship making for better stability when cooking underway.
