The MacGregor 26 S (Swing Keel) represents the final evolution of Roger MacGregor’s "classic" trailerable cruiser philosophy before the company pivoted toward the high-horsepower motorsailing hybrid models. Produced between 1990 and 1995, the 26 S refined the water-ballast concept introduced in the earlier 26 D (Daggerboard) model. It offered a middle ground for sailors who prioritized ease of trailering and shallow-water exploration without sacrificing the traditional sailing characteristics associated with a displacement monohull. Unlike its more famous successors, the 26 X and 26 M, which were designed to plane under high-horsepower outboards, the 26 S is a true sailboat designed primarily for efficiency and stability under canvas.
