Macwester 26

[mudlark]

Hi there

This is one of the boats you folks kindly suggested might be a good 2nd yacht and having scoured the web and not got very far (I have seen the owners association website, and looked at several on the for sale sites). I can't seem to find the LOA (26ft I guess) ,LWL,displacement, beam, draught and sail area.

Does anyone know of a site where this information is available (or perhaps can reel off the figures) - I just wanted to compare the various ratios these figures allow you to calculate against other possibles (e.g. Centaur).

Many thanks

Their UK distributor is based at Pendennis Marina, Falmouth. So [I know this sounds low-tech] if you rang Pendennis, they could give you the phone number or e-mail address for McG (UK) who could answer all your questions.

Thanks for this and your advice - I think we are at cross purposes though as it is the Macwester 26, not Macgregor 26 that I am interested in. Thanks anyway!

Mea culpa

Why not try the class association at "http://www.macwester.org/"?
