Some bragging from the Wikipedia description . . .
The MacGregor 25 was inducted into the now-defunct Sail America American Sailboat Hall of Fame in 2000.
In honoring the design, the hall cited, Henry Ford is often credited with bringing the automobile to the common man.
Roger MacGregor, a one-time Ford employee, may well be credited with doing the same thing for the cruising sailboat.
The popular MacGregor 25 was the flagship of his line for 14 years.
With a swinging keel - a MacGregor invention - that made transporting and launching the boat a snap, and a price that hovered around the cost of a new car, the MacGregor 25 opened up coastal and inland sailing to thousands.
Standard features.
Borrowing heavily from a Wikipedia description of a MacGregor 25!
It is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with vinyl (added within the last five years) trim.
It has a fractional sloop masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed stub keel with a centerboard.
It displaces 2,100 lb (953 kg) and carries 625 lb (283 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 5.67 ft (1.73 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
This boat is fitted with a 15 hp Mercury outboard motor, recently overhauled, for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double V-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee in the main cabin on the port side and drop-down dinette table on the starboard side that forms a double berth.
