MacGregor 26M – ASHANTI – 2008 – Yamaha 50hp – Original Trailer- £17,750

Location: Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex
A well-presented 2008 MacGregor 26M with the desirable Yamaha FT50G 50hp outboard, original road trailer.Sailing with daggerboard and water ballast.
ASHANTI has been privately owned since February 2022 and has been used primarily for relaxed fair-weather day sailing on the River Crouch, together with family outings and towing a rubber ring. She has been kept ashore on the marina hard during the winter and anti-fouled before each season.
The Yamaha 50hp has approximately 500 hours and has been serviced annually, with winterisation carried out each year. The boat is straightforward and economical to own, with marina and engine servicing being the main ongoing expenses.
The boat benefits from a new furling jib fitted in 2023 and a blue Bimini, making her particularly well suited to comfortable family days afloat.
The MacGregor 26M offers a versatile combination of sailing and powered performance, with water ballast, daggerboard and a 50hp outboard, while retaining the ability to be transported by road on her original trailer.
